God, investigate my life; get all the facts firsthand.
I'm an open book to you; even from a distance, you know what I'm thinking.
You know when I leave and when I get back; I'm never out of your sight.
You know everything I'm going to say before I start the first sentence.
I look behind me and you're there, then up ahead and you're there, too - your reassuring presence, coming and going.
This is too much, too wonderful - I can't take it all in!
Is there anyplace I can go to avoid your Spirit? to be out of your sight?
If I climb to the sky, you're there!
If I go underground, you're there!
If I flew on morning's wings to the far western horizon, You'd find me in a minute - you're already there waiting!
Then I said to myself, "Oh, he even sees me in the dark!
At night I'm immersed in the light!"
It's a fact: darkness isn't dark to you; night and day, darkness and light, they're all the same to you.
Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out; you formed me in my mother's womb.
I thank you, High God - you're breathtaking!
Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
I worship in adoration - what a creation!
You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body;
You know
exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing
into something.
Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth;
all the stages of my life were spread out before you,
The days of my
life all prepared before I'd even lived one day.
Your thoughts - how rare, how beautiful! God, I'll never comprehend them!
I couldn't even begin to count them - any more than I could count
the sand of the sea.
Oh, let me rise in the morning and live always with
you!
Psalm 139:1-18 (The Message)
I'm still enjoying my CD from the orphans of Watoto Children's Choir in Uganda.
Here is their song "Not Alone".
