Me 3


Psalm 139:1-2 New King James Version (NKJV)

139 O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.

 

 

What part of me is grateful

and which part discontent?

Who in me counts blessings

that are Heaven sent?

 

Who in me loves others

and who in me just self?

Who in me is dead and gone

and who drinks from the Well?

 

Are these silly questions

or maybe worth the while?

Who in me can answer

and who in me just smiles?
