"Oh God, You Search Me And You Know Me" by Bernadette Farrell

Performed at my regular church, October 2010. I love it.

Lyrics:

O God, you search me and you know me.
All my ways lie open to your gaze.
When I walk or lie down, you go before me:
Ever the maker and keeper of my days.

You know my resting and my rising.
You discern my purpose from afar,
and with love everlasting you besiege me:
In ev'ry moment of life or death, you are.

Before a word is on my tongue, Lord,
you have known its meaning through and through.
You are with me beyond my understanding:
God of my present, my past and future too.

Although your Spirit is upon me,
still I search for shelter from your light.
There is nowhere on earth I can escape you:
Even the darkness is radiant in your sight.

For you created me and shaped me,
gave me life within my mother's womb.
For the wonder of who I am, I praise you:
Safe in your hands, all creation is made new.

@avcard944: It is a fabulous song, this is the best recording I could get in this church, unfortunately.

This is a great song but I would recommend a better audio recording. I'm sure it sounds fabulous if you're there in person. Thanks for posting. Pax Christi.
