hid from our eyes

me: He is better than me, I'm gonna let him do it GOD : What do you mean he is better than you? me: he sharper, younger and everybody likes him. GOD: well what I want you to do, NOBODY else can do it...I made YOU specially just for this assignment....so get cracking and forget about "the better than me" whining.   ********************** 1. Immortal, invisible, God only wise,  in light inaccessible hid from our eyes,  most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,  almighty, victorious, thy great name we praise.   2. Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,  nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might;  thy justice like mountains high soaring above  thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.   3. To all, life thou givest, to both great and small;  in all life thou livest, the true life of all;  we blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,  and wither and perish, but naught changeth thee.   4. Thou reignest in glory; thou dwellest in light;  thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight;  all laud we would render:  O help us to see  'tis only the splendor of light hideth thee.   ***************** Psalm 139 King James Bible   1 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. 2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. 5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. 7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. 11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. 12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. 13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. 14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. 15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. 17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! 18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. 19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. 20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain. 21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? 22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: 24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
