19. You Cannot Hide From God

1 You cannot hide from God,
Tho’ mountains cover you,
His eye our secret thoughts beholds,
His mercies all our lives enfold,
He knows our purposes untold,
You cannot hide from God.

Chorus:
You cannot hide from God,
You cannot hide from God,
Wherever you go,
Whatever you do,
You cannot hide from God,
His eye is fixed on you,
You cannot hide from God.

2 You cannot hide from God,
No matter what you do,
He meets you at life’s ev’ry turn,
He knows your tho’ts that blight and burn,
He weeps when His own Son you spurn,
You cannot hide from God. [Chorus]

3 You cannot hide from God,
Tho’ quietly you go,
He notes your footsteps ere they fall,
He hears your silent heartful call,
His knowledge rules high over all,
You cannot hide from God. [Chorus]

4 You cannot hide from God,
This one thing you can do,
If you would save your sinful soul,
If you would be made pure and whole,
If you would reach the highest goal,
Your soul must hide in God. [Chorus]
