I Will Praise You

Inspiration: portions of Psalm 139

O Lord, You have searched me
you know me full well
You know my weaknesses
And where I excel

There is not a ingle word
Uttered y my tongue
But you know it completely
What my mouth has sung

Where can I go
Where You are not?
Can I flee from Your presence
Or go where not sought?

If i go into heaven,
Behold You are there
If I bed down in hell
You still are there

If I say, “I can hide
Because of the dark
you can still see me
Light or no spark

I will praise Thee for I
Am most fearfully wrought
I’m wonderfully made
And with a price I’m bought

I was not hid
In the depths of the womb
When crafted in secret
Your Spirit did come

Your eyes did see my substance
However imperfect I be
All my members were written
you did fashion me

How precious are thy thoughts O God
How great a sum they be
If I should count them they’d count up
To more than sands of the sea

Thou wilt slay mine enemies
Depart, O evil ones!
God will slay the wicked
For we are precious sons

I hate thine enemies, my God
They take your name in vain
I hate them with a perfect hatred
You do just the same

Search my heart, O God and know
All my thoughts and ways
Lead me in the everlasting path
Throughout all my days
