My Lord You have examined me
You know me through and through
You see my deeds perceive my thoughts
My speech my motives too
You wrap me round on every side
On me You place Your hand
Such knowledge is too wonderful
For me to understand
The presence of Your Spirit will
Be with me to the last
Wherever I decide to go
Your love will hold me fast
If I should try to run from You
I know without a doubt
No darkness could conceal my path
Your light would shine me out
You made me in my mother's womb
So intricate Your ways
And even then before my birth
You numbered all my days
Before I sleep and as I wake
I know that You are there
How could I ever sound the depths
Of Your unfailing care
And yet I find my soul perturbed
By bitterness and grief
For many choose to treat Your word
With scornful unbelief
So search me Lord and cleanse my heart
From all that You abhor
Then teach me how to walk with You
Today and evermore
