This poem says it all….what a wonderful God we have!!!
O Lord, You’ve searched and known me, From in the past eternity; You’ve known me from the outside in, You know my ways and all my sin; There’s not a word You do not hear, You know my every secret fear; You are behind, before me too, You know the things I see and do. I cannot know such knowledge great, Until I get to heaven’s gate.
No matter where I go down here, You are always very near; From heaven’s clouds to earth below, You’ll find me still where’er I go, E’en in the utmost sea so wide, There is no place where I can hide! I cannot hide in darkest night, For Your eyes see as though ‘twas light; You’ve known me from my mother’s womb, You’ll see me till I reach the tomb;
You have made me marvellously, Every bit of me You see! You wrote of me before I came, And in Your book I see my name, How precious are Your thoughts to me! You’re now with me continually. Help me to always feel the pain, When others take Your Name in vain, I know You’ll deal with them one day, So keep me from all evil ways.
Search me O Lord, and know my heart, Try my thoughts, keep me apart, From wicked ways and thoughts in me, And lead in ways that uplift Thee!
