Hymn Chords

573. I’ll Go Where You Want Me to Go

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

   Ab              Eb
Or over the stormy sea,

   Ab      Eb7       Ab       Db
It may not be at the battle’s front

   Ab             Eb      Ab
My Lord will have need of me.

    Eb7                  Ab
But if by a still, small voice He calls

   Eb7            Ab
To paths I do not know,

                  Eb7           Ab      Db
I’ll answer, dear Lord, with my hand in Thine;

     Ab           Eb7        Ab
I’ll go where You want me to go.

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

     Eb7                    Ab
O’er mountain, or plain, or sea;

                  Eb7        Ab        Db
I’ll say what You want me to say, dear Lord;

     Ab          Eb7        Ab
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.
