Lyrics (Psalm 139:1b-3, 13-14ab, 14c-15):

Response: I praise you, for I am wonderfully made.

stained glass bulletO Lord, you have probed me, you know me:
you know when I sit and when I stand;
you understand my thoughts from afar.
My journeys and my rest you scrutinize,
with all my ways you are familiar. Response

stained glass bulletTruly you have formed my inmost being;
you knit me in my mother�s womb.
I give you thanks that I am fearfully, wonderfully made;
wonderful are your works. Response

stained glass bulletMy soul also you knew full well;
nor was my frame unknown to you
When I was made in secret,
when I was fashioned in the depths of the earth. Response
