God is Everywhere

Isaac Watts • English

Primary Scripture: Genesis 3:8

Verse 1

In all my vast concerns with Thee, In vain my soul would try To shun Thy presence, Lord, or flee The notice of Thine eye.

Verse 2

My thoughts lie open to the Lord Before they're formed within; And ere my lips pronounce the word, He knows the sense I mean.

Verse 3

O wondrous knowledge, deep and high, Where can a creature hide? Within Thy circling arms I lie, Enclosed on every side.

Verse 4

So let Thy grace surround me still, And like a bulwark prove To guard my soul from every ill, Secured by Sovereign love.

Amen.
