Lord you have searched me and know me You know when I sit and when I rise You know when I go out You know when I lay down at night You're familiar with all of my ways, Lord Before a word is ever on my tongue You know it completely, oh Lord You hem me in both behind and before It's too wonderful Where can I go from your spirit Where can I flee from your presence If I go up to the heavens you are there If I make my bed in the depths you are there If I rise on the wings of the dawn If I settle on the far side of the sea Even there your hand will guide me Even there your hand will guide me Your right hand will hold me fast Your right hand will hold me fast If I say: Surely the darkness will hide me And the light become night all around me Even then the darkness will not be dark to you Yeah the night it will shine like the daytime For the darkness is as light to you For you created my inmost being Knit together in my mother's womb It's too wonderful Where can I go from your spirit Where can I flee from your presence If I go up to the heavens you are there If I make my bed in the depths you are there If I rise on the wings of the dawn If I settle on the far side of the sea Even there your hand will guide me Even there your hand will guide me Your right hand will hold me fast Your right hand will hold me fast Where can I go from your spirit Where can I flee from your presence If I go up to the heavens you are there If I make my bed in the depths you are there If I rise on the wings of the dawn If I settle on the far side of the sea Even there your hand will guide me Even there your hand will guide me Your right hand will hold me fast Your right hand will hold me fast Your hand will hold me fast
