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
