5
I look behind me and you're there, then up ahead and you're there, too - your reassuring presence, coming and going.
6
This is too much, too wonderful - I can't take it all in!
7
Is there anyplace I can go to avoid your Spirit? to be out of your sight?
8
If I climb to the sky, you're there! If I go underground, you're there!
9
If I flew on morning's wings to the far western horizon,
10
You'd find me in a minute - you're already there waiting!
11
Then I said to myself, "Oh, he even sees me in the dark! At night I'm immersed in the light!"
12
It's a fact: darkness isn't dark to you; night and day, darkness and light, they're all the same to you.
