Hymn Chords

573. I’ll Go Where You Want Me to Go

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

   A               E
Or over the stormy sea,

   A       E7        A        D
It may not be at the battle’s front

   A              E       A
My Lord will have need of me.

    E7                   A
But if by a still, small voice He calls

   E7             A
To paths I do not know,

                  E7            A       D
I’ll answer, dear Lord, with my hand in Thine;

     A            E7         A
I’ll go where You want me to go.

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

     E7                     A
O’er mountain, or plain, or sea;

                  E7         A         D
I’ll say what You want me to say, dear Lord;

     A           E7         A
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.
