Wonderfully Made (Psalm 139 Meditation)

Lyrics
English

[Verse 1]

Even the darkness is not dark to You

The night shines bright as morning dew

You formed my inward parts with care

Knit me together, a living prayer

[Chorus]

I am fearfully and wonderfully made

Your works are wonderful, let it be displayed

In secret places, depths unknown

You wove my being, flesh and bone

Your thoughts outnumber all the sand

I'm held forever in Your hand

[Verse 2]

My frame was never hidden from Your eyes

When I was formed beneath the skies

Intricately wrought in hidden places

You knew me through all times and spaces

[Bridge]

Your eyes beheld my unformed days

Every moment written down and praised

Before I breathed a single breath

You loved me even beyond death

[Chorus]

I am fearfully and wonderfully made

Your works are wonderful, let it be displayed

In secret places, depths unknown

You wove my being, flesh and bone

Your thoughts outnumber all the sand

I'm held forever in Your hand

I am fearfully and wonderfully made

Your works are wonderful, let it be displayed

In secret places, depths unknown

You wove my being, flesh and bone

Your thoughts outnumber all the sand

I'm held forever in Your hand

I am fearfully and wonderfully made

Your works are wonderful, let it be displayed

In secret places, depths unknown

You wove my being, flesh and bone

Your thoughts outnumber all the sand

I'm held forever in Your hand

[Coda]

How precious are Your thoughts, O God

How vast the paths that You have trod

If I should count them endlessly

My years would have to equal Thee
