He Covers Me

F2 Dm2
Oh Lord, I feel so barren and ashamed of who I am
Bbmaj7 C/Bb Bbmaj7 C/Bb
How I often felt I hid it well, it is a lie I cannot defend
F2 Dm2
So I lean upon Your mercy as I confess my sin to You
Bbmaj7 C/Bb Bbmaj7 C/Bb
There is no easy way, no saving face, when I finally see the truth
Dm Dm/C Bb2
So let my life be filled with only You
Chorus:
F2 Bb2
I know someday I will be free
Gm7
The weight of sin shall be released
Bb/C F2
But for now He covers me
Bb2
And though the trials never end
Gm7
I've learned to take them as my friend
Bb/C F2
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 vengeance isn't mine to take
So let me glory in my weakness till Your strength's 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
CHORUS
BC
And though heartache surrounds me
BC
I know Your love is around me
Dm Dm/C Bb2
Nothing can separate me from You
F
And I know it's true
