Nothing Hidden

I try to hide, but You see all I do,
my thought’s inside, but You know all I know,
I sin and try to run away from You,
You follow me no matter where I go.

On Judgment Day each thought will be exposed,
no action will be hidden from Your light,
the ways to heal our words will all be closed,
my soul will be stripped bare before Your sight.

Aid me now, Lord, while I still have a chance,
help me my sins repair and sorry be,
may You with Your good grace my soul enhance,
let me, O God, know what You want of me.

Why should I now, Lord, want to run and hide,
when I with You wish always to abide?
