Community of Christ Sings 178. Searcher of hearts, to you are known

Community of Christ Sings‎#178

1 Searcher of hearts, to you are known
the inner secrets of my soul.
At home, abroad, in crowds, alone,
you sense my yearning to be whole.

2 My mind can barely comprehend
the myst'ry of your gracious will.
In human weakness I may fall,
yet your strong arm upholds me still.

3 I praise you for the gift of life,
for I am wonderfully made!
How precious are your thoughts toward me,
your faithfulness in me displayed.

4 How from your presence can I go,
or ever from your Spirit flee,
since heights above and depths below
all dwell in your eternity?

5 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
try me, and all my thoughts survey.
May I respond with days well-lived.
Lord, lead me in your lasting way.

Amen.
