I have asked about this song before without success, so I thought I would try again. Mississippi John Hurt used to sing it (it is on one of his albums), but I can find no reference to it anywhere in any gospel books, Baptist hymnals, in books on how to play Hurt tunes, nothing. Can anyone give me any leads on author, sheet music, TAB, or anything relating to this song?
yours, Peter T.

I found a piece in our church's hymnal entitled "Here I Am, Lord", but I'm quite certain it is NOT what you're seeking. The hymn was written in 1981, so it's quite new (and actually a nice one, too).
