He Covers Me

Steve Camp



  F2	     Dm	        Bb2	   F2

[ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ]

    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



Bb C

    And though heartache surrounds me

Bb C

    I know Your love is around me

Dm	    Dm/C	     Bb2

Nothing can separate me from You

		 F

And I know it's true

  Bb2	    Gm7	        F2
