He Covers Me

I know, I know.  You probably hate when people blog song lyrics!  So leave then.  I love music.  When I play the piano, I feel like I can pour my emotions out onto the keys and express myself through a few notes.  (not that I am that great of a piano player...but)  And then there are the occasional lyrics that make you stand and scream YES! YES!  That is truth.

That is why I love Steve Camp. 

His music is so full of truth.  So some inspiration for a Friday-my favorite Steve Camp song~

He Covers Me

Oh Lord, I feel so lonely,
and ashamed of who I am.
How I often fell,
I hid it well.
It is a lie I cannot defend.
So I lean upon your mercy,
As I confess my sin to You.
There is no easy way,
No saving face-
When You finally see the truth.
So let my life be filled with only You.

I know some day I will be free,
The weight of sin shall be released,
But for now He covers me.
And though the trials never end,
I've learned to take them as my friend,
For each day He covers me!

Sometimes the pressure builds around me,
And I feel about to break.
I suffer painfully from wrongs done to me,
But vengence isn't mine to take.
So let me glory in my weakness,
Until Your strength is revealed in me.
It is Your grace alone,
That helps me carry on.
To be the man I long to be.
So let Your life be perfected Lord, in me-
Until it's YOU they see!

I know some day I will be free,
The weight of sin shall be released,
but for now He covers me.
And thought the trials never end,
I've learned to take them as my friend.
For each day-He covers me!

And though heartache surrounds me-
I know Your love is around me!
Nothing can separate me from You!
I KNOW it's true!
