God With Us
Posted by TulipGirl | Under Theology for Girls Sunday Mar 21, 2010O Lord, you have searched me and known me!
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my thoughts from afar.You search out my path and my lying down
and are acquainted with all my ways.Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.You hem me in, behind and before,
and lay your hand upon me.Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high; I cannot attain it.Where shall I go from your Spirit?
Or where shall I flee from your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
even there your hand shall lead me,
and your right hand shall hold me.If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,
and the light about me be night,”
even the darkness is not dark to you;
the night is bright as the day,
for darkness is as light with you.
