Cover Us...

Covering my ears

Trying to drown out the lies

Trying to drown out the poison

Filling my ears and my eyes

Oh, Lord, how long

How long will this last??

Can you hide me under Your wing

Until the danger has passed...

I don't feel up to fighting,

I don't feel like I have the strength

I feel like falling apart at any moment

At any moment, I feel like I could break

God, shut up the Devil

That's made his home inside his mind!

This Devil inside my own home..

Too quick to share his lies

God, we who are Yours

Are protected from Satan's power,

God does this mean that he's not,

Is this the Devil's triumphant hour...?

Lord! Keep our home...

Put Your shield around us

Hide us from the snares all around

Cover us by the blood of Jesus..

Like the Hebrews in Egypt's land,

We are safe when we spread this blood

On the doorposts of our hearts

We are safe from the Devil's hand.

I'm on the edge looking over

And I don't like what I see

This never-ending abyss

Separating you from me

I've never felt so far 

And I don't know how to bridge this span

I don't know what to say or what to do

To bring you back into the Promised Land

So you may mock,

And you may sneer,

But realize I am praying for you

No matter how much you hurt me..

Lord, we need Your presence here,

We need Your light to shine

Over this dark, dark emptiness

That's filling his mind...

Only then will we be safe,

When we call out to You

Let us never forget

The Hope we once knew
