you are near - Psalm 139

You are near

Antiphon:
Yahweh, i know you are near
standing always by my side
you guard me from the foe
and lead me in ways everlasting.

Verses:
1. you know my heart and its ways,
you know when i sit and when i stand
your hand is upon me, protecting me from death,
keeping me from harm.

2. where can i run from your love?
if i climb to the heavens, you are there,
if i fly to the sunrise or sail beyond the sea,
still i'd find you there.

3. marvelous to me are your works,
how profound are your thoughts, O Lord,
even if i could count them,
they number as the stars,
you would still be there.

from Psalm 139, one of my fave psalms. indeed, we are all fearfully and wonderfully made.
the lines ' if i fly to the sunrise or sail beyond the sea' always give me a tingly feeling down my spine. :)
