Reach Down Your Strong Hand, O Lord

I can run but I cannot hide
I know my God is everywhere
He knows everything, sees everything
From Him I can hide nothing.

If I go to land’s end, He is there
If I hide in a rock, He is a Rock
If I enter heaven, it is His domain
If I go to hell, it is still His terrain.

Therefore Holy Spirit, I surrender
I hand myself over to You, totally
I am Your prisoner, your slave
Have mercy and raise me from the grave.

O God, give me a song in my night
I am tired of running from pillar to post
Lift the barrier, open the prison doors
Teach me to obey your Laws.

Come, Holy Spirit, Come Comforter
Come and breathe a New Life on me
Come and renew my strength this day
Come and show me your righteous way.

If climb to the top of Everest
I am still within your reach
If I dive and duck under Mississippi
That is also your citadel

The more I run from you the closer I get to you
Just like Saul on the way to Damascus
Who can flee from your presence?
Who can escape your gaze?

Psalm 139:7-12 (New Living Translation)

⁷ I can never escape from your Spirit!
I can never get away from your presence!
⁸ If I go up to heaven, you are there;
if I go down to the grave,^[a] you are there.
⁹ If I ride the wings of the morning,
if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
¹⁰ even there your hand will guide me,
and your strength will support me.
¹¹ I could ask the darkness to hide me
and the light around me to become night—
¹² but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.
To you the night shines as bright as day.
Darkness and light are the same to you.

Ps 139:7-12
