Psalm 139, a paraphrase

Psalm 139: 1-12

O Lord, you dig deep and figure me out.

Feeling my intentions, you know why I get out of bed and why I sit down to work.

You know my habits and intentions better than I do, when I go out to do stuff you know what’s really going on.

Before I open my mouth or put a pen to paper, you know what’s it’s all about, O Lord.

Your calling on my life is intense, I couldn’t get out of your grip if I wanted to.

Knowing that you called my name is almost too much to bear, the calling takes me places way over my head.

Even in the darkest of nights, even when I feel like I’m all alone, your Holy Spirit comforts me.

It doesn’t matter where I go or what I do in this world, you are right there with me.

When I’m crawling out of bed way too early, or even just kicking it at the beach,

Even in those places you help me figure out what to do, when I’m clueless on life’s why questions, you clue me in.

When I have a terrible, horrible, no good very bad day and want to move to Australia… you slap me upside the head and remind me you’d be there too.

Even in my darkest days you remind me it’s going to be OK. Even when I don’t think it can get any darker, you bring light into that dark places of my soul.
