Hymn Chords

573. I’ll Go Where You Want Me to Go

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

   D               A
Or over the stormy sea,

   D       A7        D        G
It may not be at the battle’s front

   D              A       D
My Lord will have need of me.

    A7                   D
But if by a still, small voice He calls

   A7             D
To paths I do not know,

                  A7            D       G
I’ll answer, dear Lord, with my hand in Thine;

     D            A7         D
I’ll go where You want me to go.

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

     A7                     D
O’er mountain, or plain, or sea;

                  A7         D         G
I’ll say what You want me to say, dear Lord;

     D           A7         D
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.
