Psalm 139 is one of my favorites. I love the intimate relationship with God that David reveals in the deeply personal words of this song. I imagine the king sitting under a tree on a starry night, singing to the lover of his soul. At the end of the psalm is a prayer that I find engaging. It asks God very simply to reveal to the writer the truth of his position before God. It invites God to search the writer's heart, to know his soul, and to point out anything that's offensive to God. The implication is that the singer is ready, even eager, to make any changes that would lead to an even more intimate relationship with God. He wants no hindrances. It was the deeply personal touch that led me to put to music these two verses and add my own intimate expression of commitment to God a few years ago. "Walk in Your Ways" is truly my prayer to God. I want to know him and be known by him. I want to be rid of all that offends him so we can be closer today than we were yesterday or the day before or the day before that. God bless you as you listen.
Walk in Your Ways
Search me, O God, and know my heart,
Test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there be any offensive way in me
And lead me in the way everlasting.

I will walk in your ways all of my days,
I will trust in your heart for you are good.
Lord, I choose again today to give my life away
And to walk in your way everlasting.
