Send Me

Lecrae's song "Send Me" is a powerful call to action, urging listeners to step out of their comfort zones and engage in missionary work. The repeated refrain, "Send me I'll go," emphasizes a willingness to be sent anywhere to spread the message of Jesus Christ. This refrain is a direct reference to the biblical passage Isaiah 6:8, where the prophet Isaiah responds to God's call with, "Here am I. Send me!" Lecrae uses this biblical allusion to inspire a sense of duty and urgency among Christians to take the gospel to places where it is not known.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the dire situations faced by people around the world, from poverty-stricken areas to regions where Christianity is not known or is actively persecuted. Lecrae contrasts the comfort and complacency often found in Western churches with the desperate need for the gospel in other parts of the world. He criticizes the tendency to focus on materialism and entertainment, such as watching TV shows like "Pimp My Ride," while ignoring the suffering and spiritual needs of others. This critique extends to the American church, which he suggests is growing in size but not necessarily in true faith and action.

Lecrae also highlights the global nature of the Christian mission, mentioning places like Africa, China, and the Middle East. He underscores the importance of the Great Commission, a mandate from Jesus to make disciples of all nations, as found in Matthew 28:19-20. The song challenges Christians to break out of their "Christian bubble" and engage with the world, even if it means facing danger or persecution. Lecrae's message is clear: the gospel is for everyone, and it is the responsibility of believers to ensure that it reaches every corner of the earth.
