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
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
