Psalms 139 : Fully known and fully loved.

1. WHO I AM - GOD KNOWS v1-6 O Lord, You have searched me and You know me.

You know when I sit and when I rise; You perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; You are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue You know it

completely, O Lord. You hem me in — behind and before; You have laid Your hand upon me.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

Psalms 139 : Fully known and fully loved.

2. Where I Am - God's There v7-12 Where can I go from Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence? If I go up to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in the depths, You are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there Your hand will guide me, Your right hand will hold me fast. If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me," even the darkness will not be dark to You; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to You.

Psalms 139 : Fully known and fully loved. 2. Where I Am - God's There v 7-12
