He drew me closer to His side, I sought His will to know, And in that will I now abide, wherever He leads, I’ll go. [Refrain] It may be through the shadows dim, or o’er the stormy sea, I take my cross and follow Him, wherever He leadeth me. [Refrain] My heart, my life, my all I bring to Christ who loves me so; He is my Master, Lord and King, wherever He leads I’ll go. [Refrain] CCLI No: 1395787
