|
A scene so familiar at the old five and dime |
|
The little boy waited his turn in line |
|
And with eyes so intent he proudly displayed |
|
The candy he'd buy with the money he'd saved |
|
The girl at the counter wasn't sure what to do |
|
'Cause the money was less than the price that was due |
|
Then a stranger spoke up from his place in line |
|
Said whatever he's short just take it and add it to mine |
|
chorus: |
|
I've got you covered, I'll pay the difference |
|
You don't have to worry at all |
|
Whatever the cost is I'll go the distance |
|
If you fail, I will catch you |
|
You know I won't let you feel like you're there all alone |
|
I've got you covered |
|
Sometimes when I look back it's hard to explain |
|
Just how far I've come yet how little has changed |
|
I still long to hold what seems so out of reach |
|
Only to find out it's not what it seems |
|
I come to the Father alone and afraid |
|
In need of forgiveness yet it's so far away |
|
I cry out for mercy a child so in need |
|
With a voice of compassion the Father calls out to me |
|
I know what you're facing, I see where you're standing |
|
I'm holding all the answers you need |
|
'Cause no situation will ever take you out of My reach |
