Beloved - You Hold Me (Psalm 139) Lyrics

O Lord, you search and know me
You know when I sit and rise
All my thoughts you search and understand
Before a word is on my tongue
You know what I'm about to say
You are completely familiar with my ways
You hem me in behind before
You lay your hand on me oh Lord

Where can I go?
Where can I run from your presence?
If I go to the heavens
If I make my bed in the depths you're there
You hold me
You hold me fast
You hold me
You hold me fast

Before I even took a breath
You saw me deep within the earth
You knew all the plans you had for me
You saw my unformed body
Woven deep within that secret place
You know the hairs on my head and the number of my days
Before one had yet begun
Lord, you had written every one

Where can I go?
Where can I run from your presence?
If I go to the heavens
If I make my bed in the depths you're there
If I rise on the wings of the dawn
If I settle on the far side of the sea
Even there you will guide me
Your right hand will hold me fast
You hold me
You hold me fast
You hold me
You hold me fast

You hold me fast

Search me, try me, know my heart
Test me and know my anxious thoughts
See if there is any deceitful way about me
And lead me deeper in your truth

Where can I go?
Where can I run from your presence?
If I go to the heavens
If I make my bed in the depths you're there
If I rise on the wings of the dawn
If I settle on the far side of the sea
Even there you will guide me
Your right hand will hold me fast
You hold me
You hold me fast
You hold me
You hold me fast

You hold me
