Hold Me Fast (Psalm 139) [Official Lyric Video]

Aaron Shust’s new song "Hold Me Fast (Psalm 139)" is one of 10 Psalms on his 10th full-length album entitled Heaven + Earth. https://slinky.to/HeavenAndEarth STORY BEHIND THE SONG King David may have been the author, but this Psalm always reminded me of Jonah in the belly of the great fish..."if I make my bed in the depths of the sea, You are there..." David knew from childhood on that God was WITH him. From the fields at night, tending his father's flock of sheep while predators lurked in the shadows, to playing music for a demon-possessed King, David felt God's presence with him. From defiantly standing up to Goliath, to his days hiding in the desert for his life, David knew the God of Israel had never left him. The intimate and even mundane details of his day were never unknown to the LORD. This fact brought David great comfort. The Creator of the stars wove us together in our mother's womb. David's response to this was PRAISE. -------------------------------- Lyrics: King David, Aaron Shust Music: Aaron Shust Vocals: Aaron Shust Production + Instruments: Nathan Nockels Cello: Gideon Klein Mix: Nick Rad Mastering: Bob Boyd Video Editing: Yaakov Schwarz HEAVEN + EARTH ALBUM (Digital) https://slinky.to/HeavenAndEarth ALL MERCH (including Physical CDs and Vinyl) https://aaronshust.myshopify.com Contact: aaronshust.com/contact Booking: aaronshust.com/booking Experience Israel with Aaron: landofZion.org landofZion.org/Stories -------------------- LYRICS: VERSE 1 You search me and know me You know when I sit and when I rise Before a word is on my tongue You know it completely VERSE 2 You’re familiar with my going up and lying down All my ways Where can I go from Your Spirit Or flee from Your presence? CHORUS If I go to the heavens You are there If I make my bed in the depths of the sea You are there If I rise on the wings of the dawn If I settle on distant shores Even there Your hand will guide me Even there Your right hand will hold me fast VERSE 3 Created and woven together In my mother’s womb I’ll praise You for I’ve been made Fearfully and wonderfully BRIDGE How precious to me are Your thoughts How vast the sum of them If I were to count them They’d number far more than the sand How precious to me are Your thoughts How vast the sum of them Far too great for me to ever understand VERSE 4 So search me search me O God And know my heart Try me and know my thoughts See if there be in me Any wicked way Then lead me down the road everlasting
