Lyrics
[Intro]
Reach into the silence
Touch what lies beneath
All the things I buried
Still remain in me
[Verse 1]
I believed in my reflection
Trusted what I saw
Built my life on fragile ground
Ignoring every flaw
I tried to be forgiven
Tried to be made whole
But every effort only showed
The darkness in my soul
[Pre-Chorus]
No strength of mine
Could make me clean
No will of mine
Could intervene
[Chorus]
Cover me
In mercy I could never earn
Cover me
In love I could never return
See in me
What I could never be alone
Cover me
And call this broken heart Your own
[Verse 2]
Every thought that rose within me
Carried silent shame
Every truth I tried to hide
Still remained the same
I could not escape myself
Could not break the chain
Every path I walked alone
Led me back again
[Pre-Chorus]
No hand of mine
Could make me stand
No power mine
Could heal this man
[Chorus]
Cover me
In mercy I could never earn
Cover me
In love I could never return
See in me
What I could never be alone
Cover me
And call this broken heart Your own
[Bridge]
When I fall
You remain
When I fail
You sustain
Nothing mine
Nothing earned
Only grace
Freely given
[Final Chorus]
Cover me
Where all my strength has disappeared
Cover me
Where all my pride dissolves in fear
See in me
What only You have made me now
Cover me
Forever covered here somehow
[Outro]
Reach into the silence
See what You have done
Where there once was only darkness
Now I stand as one
