Oh, Lord, I feel so barren
And ashamed of who I am
How I often fell, I hid it well
It is a lie I cannot defend
So I lean upon Your mercy
As I confess my sin to You
There is no easy way, no saving face
When I finally see the truth
So let my life be filled with only You, oh...
I know someday I will be free
The weight of sin shall be released
But for now He covers me
And though the trials never end
I've learned to take them as my friend
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
Until Your strength's revealed in me
It is Your grace, oh Lord, 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
I know someday I will be free
The weight of sin shall be released
But for now He covers me
And though the trials never end
I've learned to take them as my friend
For each day He covers me
And though heartache surrounds me
I know Your love is around me
Nothing can separate me from You
And I know it's true
I know someday I will be free
The weight of sin shall be released
But for now He covers me, oh, my Lord
And though the trials never end
I've learned to take them as my friend
For each day He covers me
He covers me
But for now He covers me
I will be free
(I know someday I will be free)
Oh, Lord I will be free
(The weight of sin shall be released)
But for now He covers me
He covers me
