You Know
Lord, you have seen what is in my heart.
You know all about me.
You know when I sit down and when I get up.
You know what I'm thinking even though you
are far away.
You know when I go out to work and when I come back home.
You know exactly how I live.
Lord, even before I speak a word,
you know all about it.
You are all around me. You are behind me and in front of me.
You hold me in your power.
I'm amazed at how well you know me.
It's more than I can understand.
How can I get away from your Spirit?
Where can I go to escape from you?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there.
If I lie down in the deepest parts of the
earth, you are also there.
Suppose I were to rise with the sun in the east
and then cross over to the west where it
sinks into the ocean.
Your hand would always be there to guide me.
Your right hand would still be holding me
close.
Psalm 139:1-10
God, see what is in my heart.
Know what is there.
Put me to the test.
Know what I'm thinking.
See if there's anything in my life you don't like.
Help me live in the way that is always
right.
Psalm 139:23-24
When
sin and defilement accumulate in our hearts, we need to be cleansed. We ask God
to examine and try our hearts, and to point out our wicked thoughts, attitudes,
and ways. Our Lord may cause discomfort, for exposure is often difficult, but
we can approach Him without fear.
Repentance is the hurt that leads to healing.
