Seeking the face of God II

O Lord you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my thoughts even when I'm far away.

I can never escape from your Spirit!
I can never get away from your presence!
If I ride the winds of the morning
If I dwell by the farthest oceans
Even there your hand will guide me
And your strength will support me

You made all the delicate inner parts of my body
And knit me together in my mother's womb.
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
You workmanship is marvellous - how well I know it.

Search me O God and know my heart;
Test me and know my anxious thoughts.
Point out anything in me that offends you
And lead me along the path of everlasting life.

(from Psalm 139)
