D       G                 A    D
O God you search me and you know me,
       D            G            A
All my thoughts lie open to your gaze.
       Bm      G                D          G
When I walk or lie down you are before me:
         Em        G      A     D
Ever the maker and keeper of my days.

    D       G              A D
You know my resting and my rising.
    D          G             A
You discern my purpose from afar,
         Bm       G           D           G
And with love everlasting you besiege me:
         Em        G        A          D
In every moment of life and death, you are.

  D      G             A       D
Before a word is on my tongue, Lord,
    D          G                   A
You known it's meaning all the way through,
        Bm        G            D        G
You are with me beyond my understanding:
          Em       G        A       D
God of my present, past and future, too.

  D           G          A   D
Although your spirit is upon me,
        D          G                 A
Still I search for shelter from your light.
         Bm         G             D        G
There is nowhere on earth I can escape you:
         Em          G       A       D
Even the darkness is radiant in your light.

    D      G           A      D
For you created me and shaped me,
        D       G               A
Gave me life within my mother's womb.
        Bm        G          D          G
For the wonder of who I am I praise you:
             Em            G     A       D
Safe in your hands, all creation is made new.
