Cover Me
cover me
the giver of peace comes and rescued me from all sin that taunts me daily
from all the demons that try to control me
from all the people who try to mold me.
Cover me with your abounding grace and tender mercies
that light this place to warn off all those evil thoughts
that want me to love my neighbors (not!)
Cover me and keep me covered
even when I don't act like I want you too
when i've seem to forgotten all you did and will do
cover me Lord and hide me from myself
the biggest enemy i have yet
cover me so that i can grow
into what you predistine so many years ago
