Hold Me Fast (Psalm 139)

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, oh 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 Your right hand will hold me fast
