"And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve Him with a perfect heart and a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek Him, He will be found of thee; but it thou forsake Him, He will cast thee off forever. " (1 Chronicles 28:9).
David's solemn exhortation
That Solomon would need,
Applies to every generation,
And every soul should heed.
For God is searching every heart
And He can understand
Where all imaginations start
Before they're even planned.
The Lord is searching every thought;
Not one escapes His view.
If you will seek Him as you ought,
He will be found by you.
But all who choose to go astray,
Refusing God admission,
The Lord forever casts away,
Though grieved by their decision!
O Lord our God, You've seen it all!
Each thought to You is known.
You hear our prayer before we call;
You listen when we groan.
O Lord, You search with holy eyes
Our deepest part within;
So have Your way, Lord, make us wise,
And purge our hearts from sin.
