1A Verse:
LORD you have searched me and known me
You know when I sit and when I rise up
You discern my thoughts
from a long way off
You search out my path and lying down
1H Verse:
You are familiar with all my ways
Before I speak, LORD you know all that I say
You bind me front and back,
lay on me your hand
Such is knowledge far too great for me
1 Pre Chorus:
High above where I could never reach
1 Chorus:
Where shall I go without your Spirit there?
Where shall I flee Your presence?
If I ascend to heaven You are there
If I sleep in the grave You are there
2A Verse:
If on the wings of the sunrise
I fly and dwell at the end of the sea
Even there your hand
shall be leading me
And your right hand shall lay hold of me
2H Verse:
If I say, "Darkness will cover me
The light behind me will surely be as night"
Even there the dark is not dark to you
For the night is bright as in the day
2 Pre Chorus:
Darkness is as light, one and the same!
2 Chorus:
For you have knit me in my mother's womb
You formed my inward parts
I will praise you for fearful, wondrous work
Wonderful are your works, my soul knows well
3A Verse:
My frame was not hidden from you
When in the secret You wove me deep in earth
Your eyes looked upon
my substance yet unformed
In your book were written all my days
They were formed when none had taken place!
3 Chorus:
How precious are your thoughts to me, O God
How countless is their sum
If I should count, still they are more than sand
I awake, and still, I am with you
Bridge:
If only you would slay the wicked, O God!
Men of blood leave me, malicious, cursing enemies!
I hate all those who hate you, LORD detest your rising foes!
I hate with perfect hate; they are my enemies!
4 Chorus:
O Search me, O God, and know what's in my heart
Try me and know my thoughts
See if there be a grievous way in me
Lead me in the way eternal
