Christ in Song ‎#566

566. I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go

1 It may not be on the mountain's height,
Nor 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 that 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,
Over 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.

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 when I should seek;
O Saviour, if thou wilt be my guide,
Tho' rugged and dark the way,
My voice shall echo thy message sweet,
I'll say what you want me to say. [Refrain]

3 There's surely somewhere a lowly place
In earth's harvest fields so wide,
Where I may labor thro' life's short day
For Jesus, the crucified;
So trusting my all to thy tender care,
And knowing thou lovest me,
I'll do thy will with a heart sincere,
I'll be what you want me to be. [Refrain]
