Searching our Secrecy

"And the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the Lord their God" (2 Kings 17:9). "But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for Himself" (Psalm 4:3). "For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD.... Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with own devices" (Proverbs 1:29-31).

God examines all we do,
In public or in secrecy.
Right or wrong, false or true,
All is done transparently.

All we think and all we say,
Every motive for each deed,
Are before Him, plain as day,
By His grace or by our greed.

Save me, Lord, from secrecy;
Purge this folly from my heart!
Search the secrets seen in me;
Set me for Yourself apart.
