my fave church song to date..=)
Verse 1
O God, You search me and You know me.
All my thoughts lie open to Your gaze.
When I walk or lie down You are before me:
Ever the maker and keeper of my days.
Verse 2
You know my resting and my rising.
You discern my purpose from afar,
And with love everlasting You besiege me:
In ev’ry moment of life or death, You are.
Verse 3
Before a word is on my tongue, Lord,
You have known its meaning through and through,
You are with me beyond my understanding:
God of my present, my past and future, too.
Verse 4
Although Your Spirit is upon me,
Still I search for shelter from Your light.
There is nowhere on earth I can escape You:
Even the darkness is radiant in Your sight.
Verse 5
For You created me and shaped me,
Gave me life within my mother’s womb.
For the wonder of who I am I praise You:
Safe in Your hands, all creation is made new.
