1. It may not be on a mountain 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 that I do not know,
I’ll answer, dear Lord, with my hand in thine:
I’ll go where you want me to go.
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 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
I’ll be what you want me to be.
I’ll be what you want me to be.
