Well you heard about Pharaoh's army
Tramplin' through the mud
You heard about the Hebrew children
Redeemed by blood
Same spirit dwellin' in you
That raised Christ from the dead
If you're quick in your mortal body
Then let it run to your head

And cover down, cover down, pray through
Cover down, cover down, pray through

Got to have protection
By the full armour of the Lord
Well, the word of God is sharper
Than any double sided sword
He's the hammer of salvation
The breastplate of righteousness
Genesis to revelation
Repent and confess

Cover down, cover down, pray through
Cover down, cover down, pray through

Well, you wake up early in the morning
Turning from side to side
Something giving you a warning
You can't run and you can't hide
Demands are laid upon you
And burdens you can't bear
Sins you can't even remember
Are always waiting to say hello to you there
