Wheresoe’er my lot may be;
Where Thou goest I will follow,

CCLI Song No

God’s People Were In Bondage, No One To Lead Them Out.
Until The Lord Said Moses, Please Turn Thy Steps About.
He Looked At The Burning Bush, And Then Took Off His Shoes.
On Holy Ground Moses Cried, Lord I’ll Follow Thee.

Oh I Will, I Will Follow Thee.
Over Mountain High, And Over Stormy Sea.
And When I Hear Your Voice Oh Lord, No Matter How I Feel.
I Will Lay My Burdens Down, Lord I’ll Follow Thee.

I Walked Alone At Midnight, Cried My Share Of Tears.
Had Trouble All Around Me, For Many, Many Years.
But Midnight Now Has Vanished, My Troubles Had To Flee.
When I Heard My Saviour Say, Will You Follow Me?

What is the meaning of the hymn just as I am?

Charlotte Elliot wrote this song about how to find salvation through Christ. It has been used by many as the call to the altar at the close of services, as it brings a quite simple message of sin, forgiveness, and salvation to all that turn from sin and trust in Jesus.

Who wrote I'll go where you want me to go dear Lord?

Although the text was written by a Baptist named Mary Brown (1856–1918), many people mistake the hymn as one of Latter-day Saint origin because of its missionary focus. “I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go” is often sung at missionary farewells and expresses a desire to serve the Lord wherever and whenever.
