GOD MADE ME PART 2 : God knows my name

Memory Verse : God made me God ( Point up with both hands) made (rub hands together me (point to yourself)

Bible verse:

Psalm 139 v 1-15

“O Lord You have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue , behold O Lord, You know it altogether. You hem me in, behind and before , and lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, it is high; I cannot attain it. Where shall I go from Your spirit? Or where shall o flee from your presence?If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol , you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me and Your right hand shall hold me.If I say “ Surely darkness shall cover me, and the light about be night,” even the darkness is not dark to you ; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light to you.For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mothers womb. I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are you works ; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth.”
