You Know All Things, Lord
O Lord, you have examined my heart
You know all about me.
You know when I sit or stand up, You know
my every thought and what I do - You see.

You chart the path ahead of me
and tell me when and where to go.
Every second You know where I am,
You have always watched me grow.

You know what I'm going to say before
it passes my tongue and lips.
Only You, O Lord, can do these things,
You are the Lord that never forgets.

You go both in front of me and belind me
on my head You place Your holy hand.
You have such knowledge - everything You direct;
there is no way Your actions I will ever understand.

I can never escape from Your spirit - that I know
with all my heart.  I yield myself to You.
When I get to Heaven by Your Grace,
You will be there - it's so very true!
