O God you search me and know me. All my thoughts lie open to your gaze When I walk or down are before me: Ever the maker keeper of days. You resting rising discern purpose from afar And with love everlasting besiege In ev’ry moment life death are. Before a word is on tongue Lord have known its meaning through through beyond understanding: God present past future too. Although spirit upon me Still for shelter light There nowhere earth can escape you: Even darkness radiant in sight. For created shaped Gave within mother’s womb wonder who am praise Safe hands all creation made new.
