Representative Text

1
Where can I run and hide from You, or could I ever do?
When everywhere I know You're there, anywhere You'll find me.
Where could I go to flee from You, or could I ever do?
When Your hands keep holding me, guiding me, around me.

Chorus:
God, I know that You are there; You know who I am and all I do.
God, You see me through and through; take my hand, I trust in you,
I put my life in you.

2
You know me when I sit or stand; my life is in Your hand.
You read my thoughts from far away, in everything You know me.
You know me in my darkest hour; You give me strength and power.
You are there beside me, watching me for always. [Chorus]

Bridge:
For all the wonders that You gave me, for all the marvels that You do,
for all of this, I like to thank You and praise You. [Chorus, then repeat last line]
