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
You know my resting and my rising
You discern my purpose from afar
And with love everlasting You beseige me
In every moment of life or death, You are
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
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
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
17 years now...
