To the tune of "Just as I am"
From "Psalms for Singing"
[Verse 1]
D A7 D LORD, Thou hast searched me; Thou hast known A A7 G D My rising and my sitting down; D D7 G And from a-far Thou knowest well D A D The very thoughts that in me dwell.
[Verse 2]
D A7 D Thou knowest all the ways I plan, A A7 G D My path and lying down dost scan; D D7 G For in my tongue no word can be, D A D But, lo, O LORD, 'tis known to Thee.
[Verse 3]
D A7 D Behind, before me, Thou dost stand A A7 G D And lay on me Thy mighty hand; D D7 G Such knowledge is for me too strange D A D And high beyond my utmost range.
[Verse 4]
D A7 D Where shall I from Thy Spirit flee, A A7 G D Or from Thy presence hidden be? D D7 G In heav'n Thou art, if there I fly, D A D In death's abode, if there I lie.
[Verse 5]
D A7 D If I the wings of morning take A A7 G D And utmost sea my dwelling make, D D7 G Ev'n there Thy hand shall guide my way, D A D And Thy right hand shall be my stay.
[Verse 6]
D A7 D If I say, "Darkness covers me," A A7 G D The darkness hideth not from Thee. D D7 G To Thee both night and day are bright; D A D The darkness shineth as the light.
[Verse 7]
D A7 D My inward parts were formed by Thee; A A7 G D Thou, e'er my birth, didst cover me; D D7 G And I Thy praises will proclaim, D A D For strange and wondrous is my frame.
[Verse 8]
D A7 D Thy wondrous works I surely know; A A7 G D When as in depths of earth below D D7 G My frame in secret first was made, D A D 'Twas all before Thine eyes displayed.
[Verse 9]
D A7 D Mine unformed substance Thou didst see; A A7 G D The days that were ordained to me D D7 G Were written in Thy book, each one, D A D When as of them there yet was none.
[Verse 10]
D A7 D Thy thoughts, O God, to me are dear; A A7 G D How great their sum! they more appear D D7 G In number than the sand to me. D A D When I awake, I'm stll with Thee.
[Verse 11]
D A7 D The wicked Thou wilt slay, O God; A A7 G D Depart from me, ye men of blood, D D7 G They speak of Thee in words profane, D A D The foes who take Thy name in vain.
[Verse 12]
D A7 D Do not I hate Thy foes, O LORD? A A7 G D And Thine assailants hold abhorred? D D7 G I truly hate all foes of Thine; D A D I count them all enemies of mine.
[Verse 13]
D A7 D Search me, O God; my heart discern; A A7 G D And try me, every thought to learn, D D7 G And see if any sin holds sway. D A D Lead me in the everlasting way.
