Hymn Chords

573. I’ll Go Where You Want Me to Go

E                    A
It may not be on the mountain’s height

   E               B
Or over the stormy sea,

   E       B7        E        A
It may not be at the battle’s front

   E              B       E
My Lord will have need of me.

    B7                   E
But if by a still, small voice He calls

   B7             E
To paths I do not know,

                  B7            E       A
I’ll answer, dear Lord, with my hand in Thine;

     E            B7         E
I’ll go where You want me to go.

     B                       E
I’ll go where You want me to go, dear Lord,

     B7                     E
O’er mountain, or plain, or sea;

                  B7         E         A
I’ll say what You want me to say, dear Lord;

     E           B7         E
I’ll be what You want me to be.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
It may not be on the mountain’s height
Or over the stormy sea,
It may not be at the battle’s front
My Lord will have need of me.
But if by a still, small voice He calls
To paths I do not know,
I’ll answer, dear Lord, with my hand in Thine;
I’ll go where You want me to go.

[Refrain]
I’ll go where You want me to go, dear Lord,
O’er mountain, or plain, or sea;
I’ll say what You want me to say, dear Lord;
I’ll be what You want me to be.

[Verse 2]
Perhaps today there are loving words
Which Jesus would have me speak
There may be now, in the paths of sin
Some wand’rer whom I should seek.
O Savior, if Thou wilt be my guide,
Tho dark and rugged the way,
My voice shall echo the message sweet;
I’ll say what You want me to say.

[Verse 3]
There’s surely somewhere a lowly place
In earth’s harvest fields so wide
Where I may labor through life’s short day
For Jesus, the Crucified.
So trusting my all unto Thy care,
I know Thou lovest me,
I’ll do Thy will with a heart sincere:
I’ll be what You want me to be.
