Psalm 139

from For Every Hour by Fields of Ypres

/

lyrics

Lord, you know me and hear my thoughts from afar.
Before a word is on my lips,
You know it's shape and it's sound.

Where can I go from your Spirit,
You hem me in behind and before.
Where can I flee from your presence,
From the depths to the heavens you follow me.

Surely darkness will hide me as light turns to night,
But it will shine like the day,
There's no dark to you.

You knit me together in my Mother's womb,
I was made in the secret place, never hidden from you.
I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
All my days ordained before me,
Written in your book.
I'm written in your book.

How precious to me are your thoughts, Oh God.
They outnumber the grains of sand,
I could not keep count.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
To settle across the sea.
Even there you are my guide,
Your right hand holding me.
Search me, Oh God and know my heart,
See if there's offence in me.
Test me and know my anxious thoughts,
And lead me in ways everlasting.
