You guard me from the foe, and you lead me in ways everlasting. 1. Lord, you have searched my heart, and you know when I sit and when I stand. Your hand is upon me protecting me from death, keeping me from harm. 2. Where can I run from Your love? If I climb to the heavens You are there; If I fly to the sunrise or sail beyond the sea, still I'd find You there. 3. You know my heart and its ways, you who formed me before I was born in the secret of darkness before I saw the sun in my mother's womb. 4. Marvellous to me are Your works; how profound are Your thoughts, my Lord. Even if I could count them, they number as the stars, You would still be there. 🙏 Usage: Emmaus Music provides liturgical resources for parishes worldwide.
