"Hold Me Fast (Psalm 139)" lyrics

You search me and know me You know when
I sit and when I rise
Before a word is on my tongue
You know it completely

You're familiar with my going up and lying down
All my ways
Where can I go from Your Spirit
Or flee from Your presence?

If I go to the heavens You are there
If I make my bed in the depths of the sea You are there
If I rise on the wings of the dawn
If I settle on distant shores
Even there Your hand will guide me
Even there Your right hand will hold me fast

Created and woven together
In my mother's womb
I'll praise You for I've been made
Fearfully and wonderfully

If I go to the heavens You are there
If I make my bed in the depths of the sea You are there
If I rise on the wings of the dawn
If I settle on distant shores
Even there Your hand will guide me
Even there Your right hand will hold me fast

How precious to me are Your thoughts
How vast the sum of them
If I were to count them
They'd number far more than the sand
How precious to me are Your thoughts
How vast the sum of them
Far too great for me to ever understand

So search me Search me O God
And know my heart
Try me and know my thoughts
See if there be in me
Any wicked way
Then lead me down the road everlasting

If I go to the heavens You are there
If I make my bed in the depths of the sea You are there
If I rise on the wings of the dawn
If I settle on distant shores
Even there Your hand will guide me
Even there Your right hand will hold me fast
Hold me fast
