you know me ..

where could I go to get away from You
   run from Your face .. ?
      where indeed? 

if I fly through space to some far galaxy   
   You ..
dig my way to Sheol   
   You ..
spread my wings and fly as far as the horizon   
   You led me there by the hand ..

I could fold myself into the darkest darkness 
   You still find me   
      .. night is as day to You ..

You know me so well
You know everything about me
   my coming and my going   
   my descent into sleep and my rising from bed ..
   You know what I'm thinking even before I think the thought ..
   You know every place I go and how I got there
   I can't even get a word in edgewise 
      You already know what I'm going to say ..

You're out front
You're behind me
You surround me 
   covering me with Your hand 

this stuff is off the charts
I have no way of comprehending it
You even knew me when I was in the womb growing into me ..
You did that - transform me into the complex intricate me that I am

You are wonderful for sure ..
somehow You knew me even before I am ..

and the fact that You even think about me at all is enough to make me fuzzy-headed 

how do I even process all of this?

                    (Ps 139, in part)
