573. I’ll Go Where You Want Me to Go

Db                   Gb
It may not be on the mountain’s height

   Db              Ab
Or over the stormy sea,

   Db      Ab7       Db       Gb
It may not be at the battle’s front

   Db             Ab      Db
My Lord will have need of me.

    Ab7                  Db
But if by a still, small voice He calls

   Ab7            Db
To paths I do not know,

                  Ab7           Db      Gb
I’ll answer, dear Lord, with my hand in Thine;

     Db           Ab7        Db
I’ll go where You want me to go.

     Ab                      Db
I’ll go where You want me to go, dear Lord,

     Ab7                    Db
O’er mountain, or plain, or sea;

                  Ab7        Db        Gb
I’ll say what You want me to say, dear Lord;

     Db          Ab7        Db
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.
