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 (I Kings 19:12)
To paths I do not know,
I’ll an­swer, dear Lord, with my hand in Thine, (Isa. 41:13)
I’ll go where You want me to go. (Isa. 6:8, Matt. 28:19-20, Mark 16:15)

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. (Ezek. 34:16)
O Sav­ior, if Thou wilt be my guide,
Tho’ dark and rug­ged the way, (Isa. 42:16)
My voice shall echo the mes­sage sweet,
I’ll say what You want me to say. (Ex. 4:12, Jer. 1:7)

Verse 3
There’s sure­ly some­where a low­ly place
In earth’s har­vest fields so wide,
Where I may la­bor thro’ life’s short day (Matt. 9:37-38, Luke 10:2, John 4:35. John 9:4)
For Je­sus, the Cru­ci­fied. (I Cor. 1:23)
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.
