Before Me, Behind Me

by Terry Lee Ousley

God, You know everything about me;
You know every thought of my day.
You know where I stand
And You know when I stop and rest -
Every moment You know where I am!

You go before me to chart the path of Your plan.
You go behind me to guide me and keep me safe within Your hand.
This is too glorious, too marvelous for my mind to comprehend!
Before me, behind me: Your presence is all around me!
I can never be lost from Your love.

When I've climbed my highest mountain You are there.
And when I'm in my deepest pit, You're even there!
It is so precious, Lord, to realize You are with me constantly!
When I call out Your name, Your thoughts turn toward me!

You go before me to chart the path of Your plan.
You go behind me to guide me and keep me safe within Your hand.
This is too glorious, too marvelous for my mind to comprehend!
Before me, behind me: Your presence is all around me!
I can never be lost from Your love.

BASED on Psalm 139
