You know when I sit and rise
All my thoughts you search
and understand
Before a word is on my tongue
you know what I’m about to say
You are completely
familiar with my ways
You hem me in behind before
you lay your hand on me oh LordWhere can I go?
Where can I run from your presence?
If I go to the heavens
If I make my bed in the depths you’re there
You hold me
You hold me fast
You hold me
You hold me fastBefore I even took a breath
you saw me deep within the earth
You knew all the plans you had for me
You saw my unformed body
Woven deep within that secret place
You know the hairs on my head
and the number of my days
Before one had yet begun
Lord, you had written every one
Where can I go?
Where can I run from your presence?
If I go to the heavens
If I make my bed in the depths you’re there
If I rise on the wings of the dawn
If I settle on the far side of the sea
Even there you will guide me
Your right hand will hold me fast
You hold me
You hold me fast
You hold me
You hold me fast
You hold me fast
Search me, try me, know my heart
Test me and know my anxious thoughts
See if there is any deceitful way about me
And lead me deeper in your truth
Where can I go?
Where can I run from your presence?
If I go to the heavens
If I make my bed in the depths you’re there
If I rise on the wings of the dawn
If I settle on the far side of the sea
Even there you will guide me
Your right hand will hold me fast
You hold me
You hold me fast
You hold me
You hold me fast
You hold me
scripture
Psalm 139
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
You have searched me, Lord,
And you know me
You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.
You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
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… more
