Ill Go Where you Want me to Go.

This song came in my mind this morning as I was thinking of the healing process.

It may not be on the 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.

 

(Chorus)

 

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.

 

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.

 

 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.

 

Text: Mary Brown, 1856-1918

In our Church we usually think of this song as related to missionary work, but today I saw how much it relates to healing. There are many things that you may be asked to do that feel almost impossible- in the healing process. For you --like the first verse says -it WILL feel like it is on the battle front. But as the last verse says; trusting in the Lords tender care and knowing that he loves you will help you be able to be what he wants you to be. Like I talked about earlier -he knows what you are capable of and sees you as you can become!!
