The Lord Is With Me
O, Lord, You have examined my heart
You know everything about me - You know when I sit or stand.
You chart the path ahead of me and tell me where to stop and rest
You help me do what I can.

Every moment You know where I am
You know what I'm going to say before I say it.
You both precede me and follow me
You place Your hand of blessing on my head - You never forget.

This is too glorious, too wonderful to believe
I can't be lost to Your spirit - I will never be away from You, God.
If I go up to Heaven, You are there
If I stay on the Earth You are wherever I trod.

If I ride the morning winds to the fartherest oceans
Your hand will guide me, Your strength will support me.
Even the darkness of Hell could not hide me -
it's You who sets my spirit free!

Inspired by Psalm 139                                       written 7/29/05

O, Lord what a beautiful Psalm!  How great thou art!
