Hymn for Communion Procession

O God, You Search Me

Verse 1
O God, you search me and you know me
All my thoughts lie open to your gaze.
When I walk or lie down you are before me:
Ever the maker and keeper of my daysVerse 2
You know my resting and my rising.
You discern my purpose from afar,
And with love everlasting you besiege me:
In ev'ry moment of life or death, you are.Verse 3
Before a word is on my tongue, Lord,
You have known its meaning through and through.
You are with me beyond my understanding:
God of my present, my past and future, too.Verse 4
Although your Spirit is upon me,
Still I search for shelter from your light.
There is nowhere on earth I can escape you:
Even the darkness is radiant in your sight.Verse 5
For you created me and shaped me,
Gave me life within my mother's womb.
For the wonder of who I am, I praise you:
Safe in your hands, all creation is made new.
