"Willing Volunteer"

Scripture-Isaiah 6:1-8 The Common English Bible

1 In the year of King Uzziah's death, I saw the Lord sitting on a high and exalted throne, the edges of his robe filling the temple. 

2 Winged creatures were stationed around him. Each had six wings: with two they veiled their faces, with two their feet, and with two they flew about. 

3 They shouted to each other, saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of heavenly forces! All the earth is filled with God's glory!" 

4 The doorframe shook at the sound of their shouting, and the house was filled with smoke. 

5 I said, "Mourn for me; I'm ruined! I'm a man with unclean lips, and I live among a people with unclean lips. Yet I've seen the king, the LORD of heavenly forces!" 

6 Then one of the winged creatures flew to me, holding a glowing coal that he had taken from the altar with tongs. 

7 He touched my mouth and said, "See, this has touched your lips. Your guilt has departed, and your sin is removed." 

8 Then I heard the Lord's voice saying, "Whom should I send, and who will go for us?" I said, "I'm here; send me."
