Psalm 139


I've been thinking about this blog lately and realized that it's been way too long since I've shared my heart. I have been in a contemplative place lately with God - weighing, sifting - reviewing. A good thing ... difficult at times, but necessary. I came across this little song that the Lord gave me many years ago and thought I'd share it. No, you won't hear me singing or even know the tune, but read it over with the Lord - create your own melody - sing in the spirit. Make it your prayer.


Psalm 139


Search me, oh God, and know my heart. Test me and know my anxious mind.

Search me, oh God, and know my heart. Show me where I'm blind.

Seek out the bitter ways in me that hold my aching heart.

Lead me in Your everlasting ways that lead to where you are.


You know when I rise and when I leave. You know every time I've been deceived.

Before it began deep in the womb, You loved me even then.


If I should rise upon the wings of dawn or leave and go astray.

I could never run far from Your love or from Your wondrous ways.


Seek out the bitter ways in me that hold my aching heart.

Lead me in Your everlasting ways that lead to where You are.


Search me, oh God, and know my heart. Test me and know my anxious mind.

Search me, oh God, and know my heart.

Show me where I'm blind.
"For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know them full well." Ps. 139: 13-14
