I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go

I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go

Text written by 19th century poet Mary Brown

Tune composed by Carrie E. Rounsefell (1861-1930)

V. 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 call

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.

Isaiah 6:8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” 

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.

V. 2 Perhaps today there are loving words

Which esus 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.

Refrain

V. 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 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.

Refrain
