You know me inside out
the way I'm formed, the way I'm made,
and from Your memory about
me no thing can ever fade.
You love me. Why? I don't know.
To fit Your purposes, You chose
me many centuries ago.
You know me from head to toes.
Before the world came to existence,
You had already me in mind.
Overcoming Time's distance,
You have a role for me assigned.
This doesn't fit in my perception
how powerful and great You are!
Still, I can have with You connection
and to remain on Your radar.
You know every thought of mine,
whatever - frivolous or wise,
and with Your power divine
You can all evil sterilize.
You know every hidden feeling,
if I'm glad or badly hurt.
Your Word gives me Your strength and healing
and helps me to remain alert.
Who is like You? To whom I'd go
when I'm in trouble, when I cry?
No one but You so deeply know
my situation - what and why,
and no one can give solution
to all my problems, big or small.
Your consolation softly cushion,
when I'm repenting, if I fall.
Oh, nothing's hidden from Your eyes!
Your thinking is beyond my scope,
and I can gladly recognize
that in Your hands are peace and hope.
All justice is in You alone,
and yet, Your heart is full of grace,
and You can turn my heart of stone
into a sanctified place.
And, from my sinful nature freeing
with blood that You for me had shed,
You cleanse me in my inner being
and give me holiness instead.
