O God you search me and you know me,
D G A
All my thoughts lie open to your gaze.

When I walk or lie down you are before me:
Em G A D
Ever the maker and keeper of my days.

You know my resting and my rising.

You discern my purpose from afar,
Bm G D G
And with love everlasting you besiege me:
Em G A D
In every moment of life and death, you are.

Before a word is on my tongue, Lord,
D G A
You known it's meaning all the way through,

God of my present, 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:
Em G A D
Even the darkness is radiant in your light.

For you created me and shaped me,

Gave me life within my mother's womb.
Bm G D G
For the wonder of who I am I praise you:
Em G A D
Safe in your hands, all creation is made new.
