No one knows me better than you do, Lord.
In fact, you know me far better
than I know myself...
You know how and when I try to con you
and how I con myself
- and still, your patience knows no end...
You know I talk myself
into false and foolish choices,
telling myself I'm really being smart
- and stlll, your Spirit's counsel guides me...
You know my best efforts are well intended,
I want to do my best, even when I lack
the strength of my convictions
- and so, you never fail to be my strength...
You know I strike out on my own
and, convinced that I know better,
I stray, get lost and fail
- and still, you rescue and forgive me...
You know me inside out, Lord
- and still love me and forgive me;
make me faithful to your grace
in all I think and say and do...
Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake
and watch over me as I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
and asleep rest in your peace...
Amen.
O God, You Search Me and You Know Me
