Lord, You have searched me
--------------------------

[chorus]
    Lord, You have searched me and You know me;
      You know when I sit and when I rise.
    You perceive my thoughts from afar,
      You know all my ways.

[v1]
When I was fitted together,
  formed in that secret place
You were there. For all that I am
  my God I give You praise.

[chorus]
    Lord, You have searched me and You know me;
      You know when I sit and when I rise.
    You perceive my thoughts from afar,
      You know all my ways.

[v2]
Where can I go from Your presence - 
  far, far across the sea?
You are there. Wherever I go
  I know that You're with me.

[chorus]
    Lord, You have searched me and You know me;
      You know when I sit and when I rise.
    You perceive my thoughts from afar,
      You know all my ways.

[v3]
If I say 'light flees from round me,
  darkness on every side',
You'll be there. And through all the gloom
  I know You'll be my guide.

[v4]
Search my whole being, and know me;
  know all my thoughts, I pray.
Try me, Lord. And lead me along
  Your everlasting way.
