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.
Chorus
