His Wondrous Works

Many, O LORD my God, are Thy wonderful works which Thou hast done, and Thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto Thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. Psalm 40:5

 Your Wondrous Works

O Lord, You have created me, a woman
You know me and nothing is hidden from You
You know when I sit down and rise up
Yes, You even know my thoughts

You see me coming in and going out
You are very familiar with all that I do
There is not a word which I speak
that You don't know already

You surround me on all sides
and protect me with Your hand
I cannot comprehend such love and care
I cannot grasp Your knowledge

Where can I go or escape from You?
Even if I go up into the heavens
or down into the dungeon
You will be right there with me

If I had wings and fly away
and settle at the end of the globe
You will still direct me
holding me with Your right hand

No matter where I go or run away from
be it in deep darkness or full light
It will make no difference
because I cannot hide from You

You are in full control of my life
even before I was conceived
I will praise You for ever
for You awesomely created me

Your eyes were upon me
when I was not yet fully grown
My identity was written in Your book
as I developed into an unique creation

Altogether, how precious are Your thoughts
that You remember me as Your own
They are immeasurable
and outnumber the sand of the sea

I know how marvelous Your works are
and it is wonderful to know You
You do not abandon me
for when I wake up, I am still with You

Thank You Father!
