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.

G C G
See if there is any offensive way in me,
C G D D7 G
And lead me in the everlasting way.

You hem me in, behind me and before,

You gently place your hand upon my head.

Where can I go from your Spirit?

Where can I flee from your presence?

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,

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.

And lead me in the everlasting way.

And lead me in the everlasting way
