5. The Father Watches Us Play
 Ps. 139: 1-4
 O LORD, You have searched me and
known me.
2 You know my sitting down and my rising
up;
You understand my thought afar off.
3 You comprehend my path and my lying
down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.
