Lyrics

Cover Me
© words & music by David W. Lin, BMI

You know I've tried a thousand times
To guard my heart and protect my mind
From the darkness that this world brings
I try to walk and stand up tall
Use all my strength but still I fall
'Cause apart from You I can't do a thing

I find myself casting stones
I put myself up on Your throne
But who am I when compared to You?
I rise up from my bed each day
No time for You I forget to pray
But You still love me despite the things I do

[Chorus]
Cover me with a grace that sees no sin
Cover me with Your love
Cover me with peace beyond all understanding
With mercies never ending cover me.

I hide Your word inside my heart
But then I fail to do my part
And share the grace You have given me
Ignoring all the least of these
Should make me fall down to my knees
Forgive me for the thirst I do not see

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Just like the thief beside You on the cross
Guilty as accused all hope is lost
So please remember me
And in paradise we'll meet
The blood You shed for me has paid the cost
The blood You shed for me has paid the cost

[Chorus]
