(Verse 1)
You have called me and know me
When I sit and when I rise
And the hope of my soul I see clearly in your eyes
If I rise up to heaven
I will feel your open arms
For your love won't abandon my soul
(Chorus 1)
Though I fall to the depths of the sea
Still I find you are there
Should I soar to the heavens so high
Even so, I will feel your loving care
(Verse 2)
For your light is eternal
And your presence without end
You discern all my folly,
My neglect, my secret sin
Though I hide from your presence,
I can never break away
For your love won't abandon my soul
(Chorus 2)
I will live for you all of my days
High or low, you are there
You are worthy of all of my praise
Evermore, I will know your loving care
(Solo)
(Verse 3)
You have searched me and know me,
In my heart and in my mind
May I follow your banner,
Leaving all this world behind
You are right here beside me,
In the dark and in the day
For your love won't abandon my soul
