2. Search me O God  ( Psalm 139)

A friend, they say, is someone who knows all about you and still loves you. God is that friend.

G                        G    C                          G

   Search me O God,     and know my  heart.

                                                 D7

Test me and know my anxious thoughts.

                        G     C              G

See if there is any offensive way in me,

   C    G                     D  D7      G

And lead me in the everlasting way.

                           C                 G

You know me well,    you see inside my thoughts,

                                      A7                    D7

You know my every move       and all my ways.

                 G               C                                     D7

Before I speak a word,     you know what I will say.

G                        G    C                          G

   Search me O God,     and know my  heart.

                                                 D7

Test me and know my anxious thoughts.

                        G     C              G

See if there is any offensive way in me,

   C    G                     D  D7      G

And lead me in the everlasting way.

                         C                 G

You hem me in,    behind me and before,

                                         A7                D7

You gently place your hand    upon my head.

                 G               C                           D7

I cannot comprehend     how much you care.

G                        G    C                          G

   Search me O God,   and know my  heart.

                                                 D7

Test me and know my anxious thoughts.

                        G     C              G

See if there is any offensive way in me,

   C    G                     D  D7      G

And lead me in the everlasting way.

      C                                    G

Where can I go from your Spirit?

C                    D7                       G

Where can I flee from your presence?

        Em                                      Bm

If I go to the heavens you are there!

         Am7                                  Edim

If I sink to the depths you are there!

          G               Bm                D7

 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,

      C                                             D7

or settle on the far side of the sea,

                       G  C2/G  G

you’re guiding me.

                                C                    G

You formed me well     inside my mother’s womb,

                                      A7            D7

You knew me even then,      a tiny frame.

                       G               C                        D7

 Inside that secret place,       You gave me life.

G                        G    C                          G

   Search me O God,     and know my  heart.

                                                 D7

Test me and know my anxious thoughts.

                        G     C              G

See if there is any offensive way in me,

   C    G                     D  D7      G

And lead me in the everlasting way.

   C    G                     D  D7      G

And lead me in the everlasting way
