God of the Depths and Heights (Ps. 139)

 

You are the God of early morning, the God of late at night

You are the God of ocean depths, the God of the eagle's flight.

You are the God of the valley wide, the God of the narrow way

You are the God who know the past, the future and today.

Well I cannot reach the depths or heights of this hard heart of mine

For there dwell motives I can't trace and dreams I cannot find

So search me Lord and try me, cleanse me from my sin

See if there be any way in me where darkness dwells within

Feed my life with your Spirit, with the Holiness that is yours.

Garrison my helpless heart with sanctity that endures.

Make my conscience clean so I can stand boldly before your throne

Unspotted and unblemished, blameless though perfectly known...
