Purged for a Purpose

"Then said I, Woe is me! For I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips.... Then flew one of the seraphims unto me... and said... thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us? Then said I, Here am I; send me" (Isaiah 6:5-8).

My sin is purged! What sweet relief!
Yet now I hear God say:
The world is lost in unbelief;
Whom shall I send today?

What shall I say, since I am urged
To speak to sinful men?
Lord, here am I! My lips are purged!
Send me where You'll send!
