The spirit of the Lord is upon me To preach good news to the poor To bind up the broken-hearted To make you known even more So that people living in darkness Will see the great light I'll be the carrier of love and compassion I'll be the carrier of light to the world I'll be the carrier of hope and salvation I will go shine your light to the world I will go shine your light to the world The Spirit of the Lord is upon me Freedom and truth to proclaim Trade your ashes for the oil of gladness And your sorrows for garments of praise I'll be the carrier of love and compassion I'll be the carrier of light to the world I'll be the carrier of hope and salvation I will go shine your light to the world I will go shine your light to the world Here am I, send me Here am I, send me Here am I, send me Here am I, send me I'll be the carrier of love and compassion I'll be the carrier of light to the world I'll be the carrier of hope and salvation I will go shine your light to the world I will go shine your light to the world
