My Sounding Board

O God, You are a sounding board to me,
I can be honest and most frank with You,
what's in my soul You can already see,
any pretense or lie You see right through.
O God, You can look right into my heart,
You know before I say it what I'll say,
You read my mind even when we're apart,
You'll be with me tomorrow as today.
O God, if I can't tell You what I think,
it's I from whom I'm trying hard to hide,
You set my sail, You will not let me sink,
I tell You all, You're really on my side.
I can say anything to You, O Lord,
You know it all, my friend, my sounding board.
