Precious

You know my every thought
You know when I lay down and get back up
You see everything I've ever done
You know what I'll say
Before the words are on my tongue

You inhabit both the day and the night
No matter where I go, there's nowhere I can flee
Where can I go from Your spirit?
If I take flight on the wings of the dawn
Or settle on the far side of the sea

You are there
You are there
Wherever I go
Your presence is with me

Even in my dreams
You're singing over me in my sleep
You grant every breath that I breathe
Your thoughts, O Lord, are precious to me
To me
Precious
Precious

You knit me together in my mother's womb
Before I was born
You saw my unformed being
And You made me with much fear and wonderment
You opened up
Your living book
And wrote in all the days for me

And You are there
You are there
Wherever I go
You're right there beside me

Even in my dreams
You're singing over me in my sleep
You grant every breath that I breathe
Your thoughts, O Lord, are precious to me
To me

(Oh precious)
You hem me in
Behind and before (oh precious)
You hold me in the palm of Your hand (oh precious)
And when I'm sleeping
You're thinking of me
Your thoughts outnumber the sand beside the sea
Oh the sand beside the sea
Your thoughts outnumber (sand beside the sea)
The sand beside the sea
And when I awake
You're still with me

Even in my dreams
You're singing over me in my sleep
You grant every breath that I breathe
Your thoughts, O Lord, are precious to me
To me
Even in my dreams
You're singing over me in my sleep
You grant every breath that I breathe
Your thoughts, O Lord, are precious to me
To me
To me
To me
Precious
