Hymn Chords

573. I’ll Go Where You Want Me to Go

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

   Eb              Bb
Or over the stormy sea,

   Eb      Bb7       Eb       Ab
It may not be at the battle’s front

   Eb             Bb      Eb
My Lord will have need of me.

    Bb7                  Eb
But if by a still, small voice He calls

   Bb7            Eb
To paths I do not know,

                  Bb7           Eb      Ab
I’ll answer, dear Lord, with my hand in Thine;

     Eb           Bb7        Eb
I’ll go where You want me to go.

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

     Bb7                    Eb
O’er mountain, or plain, or sea;

                  Bb7        Eb        Ab
I’ll say what You want me to say, dear Lord;

     Eb          Bb7        Eb
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.
