Isaiah 6:1 - 8 (NKJV)
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the LORD sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple, above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one cried to another and said: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory!" And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke. So I said: "Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of host." Then one of the seraphim flew to me having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs form the altar. And he touched my mouth with it, and said: "Behold, this has touched your lips; your iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged." Also I heard the voice of the LORD, saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?" Then I said, "Here am I! Send me."
It is time for all who are called by the name of Jesus to stand up, be counted, and proclaim, "Here am I, send me!"

Acts 9:1 - 6 (NKJV)
Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why are your persecuting Me?" And he said, "Who are You, Lord?" Then the Lord said, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads." So he trembling and astonished, said, "Lord, what do you want me to do?" Then the Lord said to him, "Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do."
On our knees, arms raised high, and eyes lifted up, the question for each of us must be, "Jesus, what would You have me do today?"
Abba, Father, "Holy, holy, holy, LORD God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!" We, Your humble and obedient children sing each day, we stand ready to serve, ready to be the fulfillment of Your call; it is in the name of our Lord and our Savior Christ Jesus that we pray. Amen.
