[VERSE 1]
You know my rising, You know my falling,
You see the ways I walk — You hear my silent calling.
Before a word is formed, You know what I will say,
You hem me in with love and lead me in Your way!
[CHOIR TAG: SATB—short punch accent]
Sopranos: You know me!
Altos: You hold me!
Tenors/Bass: Your hand is over me!
[CHORUS (Explosive, anthem-style)]
Search me, know me — I’m never out of Your sight!
Lead me, show me — Your presence is my delight!
Where can I go that You are not already there?
Your glory surrounds me — You meet me everywhere!
Ohhh — Search me! Know me!
I’m Yours forevermore!
[VERSE 2]
If I climb the heavens high, Lord, You are there,
If I make my bed in depths, still You’re everywhere.
Your Spirit finds me in the morning’s brightest light,
And in the farthest sea — Your hand still holds me tight!
[CHOIR TAG – call & response]
Leader: Darkness can’t hide me!
Choir: You are the Light!
Leader: Night shines around me!
Choir: Just like the day!
[CHORUS]
Search me, know me — I’m never out of Your sight!
Lead me, show me — Your presence is my delight!
Where can I go that You are not already there?
Your glory surrounds me — You meet me everywhere!
Ohhh — Search me! Know me!
I’m Yours forevermore!
[BRIDGE (Power build — perfect for stacked harmony)]
You formed me — wonderfully made,
Every thread of my being — written on Your page.
Your thoughts about me — more than the sand,
I’m held in the shelter of Your mighty hand!
[Harmony swell]
Sopranos: Wonderful! Marvelous!
Altos: Fearfully, wonderfully made!
Tenors: You formed my heart, You know my days!
Bass: You are God, and I am Yours…
[FINAL CHORUS (Double chorus, big finish)]
Search me, know me — I’m never out of Your sight!
Lead me, show me — Your presence is my delight!
Where can I go that You are not already there?
Your glory surrounds me — You meet me everywhere!
Search me, know me — forever I will proclaim!
Try me, show me — lead me in Your righteous ways!
You wrote my story long before I lived a day —
My God, You are faithful! My God, You always stay!
[ENDING TAG (A cappella SATB hit)]
[All parts:]
Search me… know me…
I’m Yours — forevermore!
