This song was written by Keri Jones and David Matthews, and people have wished they' added more verses. Well, in Norway, they did, so that explains why the texting doesn't always seem to match. I have put together 3 versions of it, and at the end comes Jesus take me as I am, where I have tweaked some of the Norwegian version, but did not actually write the original.
No proper recording of the original choral arrangement seems to have survived, but it made a mighty finale to John Steffensen's second musical.
Melody and Bible-text re-wording: John Steffensen, using the 1978 Norwegian bokmål translation.
Adonai,You know all my heart and fathom me!
Where I sit and when I stand, Aware of it
My mind seen and mapped out beforehand.
Adonai, You know all my heart and fathom me!
If I walk or lay me down, discerning it,
Preserving my coming and my going.
Before the word is on the tongue-tip
Hearing it, everything I say!
Under, over, covering me
You have kept your hand on me.
Under, over, covering me
You have kept your hand on me.
’Tis far too wonderful for the telling.
’Tis far too high For me ever to understand.
Under, over, covering me
You have kept your hand on me
Where can I flee Far from your presence?
Where can I cower from your visage?
If I follow the Milky Way, -You are there! You are there!
If I follow the Milky Way -You are there! You are there!
If my hide-out I make in Hell, —you are there!
Though I try the wings of morning on
And fly away where sky meets ocean
Your Spirit still awaits me there!
The hollow of Your hand Encloses me And if I say:
“Let darkness cover me,The daylight around me be night!”
The dark is as clear as dawn to You!
The dark is as clear as dawn to You!
The night is as clear as morning,
The dark of night, as brightest day.
Ransack me God.
Discern my thinking.
Sift to the heart of my very most soul!
Discover where I Cling to roads of wrong,
And take me the paths everlasting.
The language is deliberately somewhat archaic.

May the three fold cord entwine you,

May the three fold fabric tell,

Of the heart that beats to find you,

To restore you and make you well.

Cord of the Father, cord of the Son,
C D G A
Cord of the Spirit, Three in One.
May the cord of Father hold,
Draw you gently to his breast.
Not to harm you or to scold you,
But to give you perfect rest.
May the cord of Christ uphold you,
Watching lest you stumbling fall.
May the Word of God enfold you,
Save you from temptation's call.
May the cord of Spirit bind you,
Gentle as the cooing dove,
Soothing every hurt behind you,
Till you know that God is love.

For mortals to behold.

O My Soul is a devotional for the weary and the grateful alike, reminding us that healing, forgiveness, and redemption are present gifts. Remember who God is and what He's already done for you.
This video reflects a very difficult time in my life... My father was dying from colon cancer and the struggle with my faith was very real, but God saw me through it all and for that and everything else He has done, I am truly Grateful!
