I've been covered by the blanket of life
Circumstances have been entry level
This world been engaging intimate lore and strife
Keep telling myself and others gonna get better
I'm leaving all the cares and woes
to my Almighty Father in HEAVEN
woe is me
this my prayer just for a blanket covering
still and again
Always AMEN

Oh wa la. La ka la la Oh
There are many, many coverings.
Many a basic things.
Ther's a greater covering.
You cover me with clothing, I wear
You cover me so apparent
And outside in the wind.
You so cover me again.
In the rain.You cover me with a coat
And within our covenant,
you cover me with your vessel
Skin to skin, touch to touch.
Souls intertwined ties cross.
We snuggle , as we muscle,
Joining our bodies in harmony.
But the greatest covering of all
Is you speak of life , a covering unto me;
As you pray for me to be.
Healed and Whole, Hallelujah;
The greatest covering of all is prayer to God
The greatest covering of all is your prayer to God
Our Father's GOD'S covering
.....is the best covering of all
Our Father in Christ, in heaven and in US is the best covering of them all
Selah Holy Glory praises Hallelujah
Our Father's covering is the best covering of them ALL ????

She wore a caramel covering;
Her heart beats as a little one;
A jovial girl, lovingly cared for;
A mother's joy, a father's girl
Be that portion subject to trauma;
Yet still be a Holy Daughter;
A Daughter of a Holy God;
She is formidable:
She is a righteousness of a almighty God:
Selected Carmel Sister;
She wore a caramel covering which is her skin

YOU ARE MY COVERING
Lord you are vast
Omnipotent have no end
You are before beginning
Alpha and Omega you are
Beyond beginning and end
And when I’m with you
You cover me through all of my travels you cover me
Through space time and energy you cover me
While I’m naked or cloth
You cover me
You cover
Father within and above me
You cover me
You cover
Hallelujah
Oh! Lord you cover me
Father above and within you cover me

From “I CRY OUT TO YOU”
From fence to fence
From curb to fence
For all occupants
We seek Your defense
Your light projects
Your will protects
Evil spirits everywhere
I say to them to beware
The darkness will not prevail
For God‘s love will never fail
When we worship together with angels
The blood of Jesus is my divine covering
Turn around
Don’t drown
When encountering (1)
Thank you, sweet lamb of God.
Always goes with me.
And the angels that go before
And minister for us
Peace and grace fall
I’m covered by fresh fire
Unholy burns away when I’m with you.
We are loved dearly by God
You are the apple of my eye.
Hide me under the shadow of thy wings. (2)
I thirst and I am hungry.
I’m not here for blessings. (3)
I’m not here for miracles.
I need you, all I need is you.
I know my identity.
I know whose I am.
On the day of Christ Jesus
Sometimes I am weak.
God is always strong. Sometimes I doubt.
God is always faithful.
Soak in his light and inwardly we let Him in.

We dress our souls with masks of words, as if covering our bodies with fine garments,
Every morning, we choose masks from the closet of the heart, full of unspoken stories,
Words are embroideries stitched onto the fabric of life, hiding the fragility that lies within us,
We place the masks upon our hearts like veils that filter the light of truth and shadows,
We are artists of appearances, painting on the canvas of the soul with shades of deep silence,
Beneath the masks of words, the face of truth is a broken mirror, hidden in silent gazes,
We fear being bare, stripping our souls of the garments of words that enwrap us,
Yet beneath the layers, we harbor a universe of dreams and desires, a cosmos of unrest,
Truth is a song that resonates muted within us, smothered by the masks that stifle our whispers,
We learn to dance between the light of sincerity and the shadow of pretense that defines us,
In the end, remains the desire to reveal ourselves as we truly are, letting the masks fall,
And perhaps, we will dare to be honest with ourselves, gazing into the mirror of the soul.
????COVERINGS
I stand before the darkness
Temporarily it covers me
My breathing impared winds surrounds me
I am a shining light, I shine brighty
Insiteful Lightly
Elohim my covering
My covering
Mine covering
Jesus He is my covering
My covering
Mine covering
Hallelujah

Scrape away, at a life. You just weren’t given any real instructions –
so, you scrape like a carpenter
at grey washed walls, wanting
to peel off old paint – old memories,
in your head you scrap away
the talk back – that little
squirrel inside the trunk of your head
it scrapes.
You scrape and scream, you scrape and
feel the muscle of your right hand
figure the page into
something. You scrape
days and trash them. Who
will find them? Who cares that you scrape
while in labor? scrape every morning you wake –
scrape on body, scrape on heart, scrape on this
bloody life
until you just can’t scrape –
HOLY COVERING HUE
Holy is waiting on you
To do embrace what it do
~
Receive your rescue
Holy is waiting on you
~
To receive the blessing
Sent forth coming through
~
After we received it hue
We shout blessed Hallelujah
Holy-Wholly
Holy covering hue

Painted daisies, baby's breath beside roses
Chrysanthemums, carnations beside roses
Red roses beside pink roses
Still, Rose is gone; Petals fresh, ... dried, and crushed.
Dawn and dusk, and melted musk
Settle upon the dust-covered roses, covering Rose
I am a strain a stream turn to ocean a flowing river;
He is the banks beside me He's my covering;
I am the bright light that shines at night and the daylight;
I'm brilliant brighter than the sun I am light space,
He is mine He's my embrace He's my cover, I am energy;
He's century in Him I live I breathe I am a brilliant light;
Encapsulated I'm out of the darkness He's my space;
He's beyond time and before time and is in present time I am His He is mine;
In the rains the storms
In the darkness, I'm not alone
--- He is my covering

~If in His grace conveys a sense of protection
And in His ultimate provision He yet covering
God's grace mine shield
Safeguarding me from all harm
He's mine guidance and my path He leads me there at...
In Him I am forgiven empowered in favor and grace
His love manifested unwavering He cares so...
His grace is covering me

Out on the veranda
There is solid dark gray
The hidden sun is rising
And hot will be this day
Thank you, Lord, for a few minutes
A moment to be alone with you
Your Presence surrounds
Covering like the precious dew
In mine suffering, I'm not suffering;
I refuse to reject my mind blessings;
Core to promise, I admonish my covering;
I am highly blessed in the witness, of my covenant;
Elohim, creator all power, His purpose is dwelling, indwelling me;
Reciprocity

I hear the fainted voices scream at me at night demons swallow their pride go ahead and hide I rebuke you in this night for heaven's Pleasant present Glory conscious constant ever so awesome bright I stand before my father as he Embraces me snuggled covered through the night
