Cover me

I love this song. In the middle of any time of waiting in my life I think of it and remember the words. I go back and forth being fine with things as they are and then it'll shift and I'll get impatient with the moving process. It's just, well, out of my control.

No matter how out of my control something is, it is actually very much in control. His control. So I am trying to remember that today. On a day when I'm wanting to get things done and anything I do needs to be done with a baby on my hip. On a day when Ty and Charlie fight over every toy in our house. On a day when moving to a new place seems so attractive yet no showings are scheduled. I can feel alone even with my family here. Satan loves to make us feel isolated in our feelings. Does that happen to you too? I sure hope so.

Anyway. Read the words to this song by Bebo Norman. Beautiful.

Bebo Norman \ Cover Me

Cover me, cover up my tears
Cover up this man who's covered up in fear
I need a peace of mind, I need a piece of you
TO cover all that's gone and everything that's new
You unveil me with your mercy
I want to breathe you in
You unfold me, then you hold me

Cover up my heart, cover up my soul
Cover up this world and everything I know
You cover up the sky, you cover up the sea
Cover up the mountains and every part of me
Everything single breath I breathe...cover me

I am still alive and covered up in years
Covered up in lines as innocence appears
So give me a peace of mind, give me a piece of you
To cover all that's old with everything that's new
You unveil me with your mercy
I want to breathe you in
And you unfold me, then you hold me
You unveil me with your mercy
I want to breathe you in
You unfold me then you hold me
I want to shed this skin
You unveil me with your mercy
You unfold me, then you hold me
You
unbreak me, would you take me home

Thanks for posting this Mary. I didn't read it until today because I've been covered up in my own fog. I needed these words. You are not the only one who feels that way sometimes. I need to get out of my funk for sure!
