I’ll Go Where You Want Me to Go

Hymn lyrics by Mary Brown and Charles E. Prior,
Music by Carrie E. Rounsefell

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,¹
• I’ll go where You want me to go.

Chorus

• 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 wilt² be my Guide, though dark and rugged the way,
• My voice shall echo the message sweet,
• I’ll say what You want me to say.

Chorus

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 Thy³ care, I know Thou lovest⁴ me!
• I’ll do Your will with a heart sincere,
• I’ll be what You want me to be.
