From Psalm 139:1-2: “O Lord, you have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from far away.”
Searching and knowing
Discerning each thought
Inescapable
God ties one more knot
Seeing tomorrow
Opening one’s eyes
Inescapable
God hears every cry
Leading each day forth
Holding darkness back
Inescapable
God’s light covers black
Sharing His good works
Teaching righteous truth
Inescapable
God matures one’s youth
Weaving from earth’s depths
Knitting with intent
Inescapable
God’s efforts well-meant
Navigating storms
Lifting each above
Inescapable
God brings grace-filled love
From Psalm 139:11-12: “If I say, ‘Surely the darkness shall cover me, and night wraps itself around me,’ even the darkness is not dark to You; the night is as bright as the day, for darkness is as light to You.”
