I watch and I wait
Rocking in the hum of His grace
Cover me, cover me, Lord!
I am weak, shaken by the words of raging wars
I bow and I bend
Creaking under the weight of fiery words
Cover me, cover me, Lord!
I can smell the smouldering of burning arrows
I weep and I groan
Grasping out to find Him near
Cover me, cover me, Lord!
For I feel your shield and I know you are near
I cling…
I hear ferocious slander
Mockery and maliciousness fly over me
Cover me, cover me, Lord!
Least they pierce my heart and break my wings
Cover me, cover me, Lord!
As I curl into your presence, hiding under your great effulgence
My head to your feet
I hear you thunder; I hear you roar
I hear their whining, I feel their tremors
You crush them
Like ash blown into barrenness
You covered me, Lord, You covered me
I hear the demolishing of a victorious war
Where walls become bridges
And altars become stones
We arise as giants possessing each step
You lifted me, Your triumphant trophy
You carried me…
Lord, You carried me
