You?ve searched me and
You?ve known me
When I rise up,
When I walk out
You read my thoughts,
Running all around
Search out my paths
And my lying down
You're not surprised
By any of my ways
And my heart is counting on it
While I wait
Before there was a word
Dripping off my tongue
God you already heard it,
And then it is sung
You hem me in and run
Ahead of both my feet
Order all my steps
And dream up all my dreams
Faithful to the end
Father and my friend
My Heart lays before you
Midnight
You catch every tear I cry
Midnight
I can feel You by my side
Where can I go
Where can I flee
There?s not one place
That You cannot see
Heaven or hell
Dark caves and trees
Mountains and hills
Desert or Deep
Even in my lungs
The air that I?m breathing is Yours
Midnight
You catch every tear I cry
Midnight
I can feel You by my side
I soak my bed with tears
Still feel Your presence near
Oh, through heartache, pain and fears
You carry all my years
I soak my bed with tears
Still feel Your presence near
Oh, through heartache, pain and fears
You carry all my years
Where can I go
Where can I flee
There?s not one place
That You cannot see
Heaven or hell
Dark caves and trees
Mountains and hills
Desert or Deep
Even in my lungs
The air that I?m breathing is Yours
Midnight
You catch every tear I cry
Midnight
I can feel You by my side
You?ve searched me and
You?ve known me
When I rise up,
When I walk out
You read my thoughts,
Running all around
Search out my paths
And my lying down
You're not surprised
By any of my ways
And my heart is counting on it
While I wait
