God covers me
with his gentle hand
like a warm coat
in winter winds.
He covers me
with his wide mercy
like a big umbrella
in spring downpour.
He covers me
with his tender love
like a bridal tent
in summer sun.
He covers me
with his life’s blood
like a full pardon
in fall darkness.
He covers me
with his eternal grace
like a safe shelter
in all seasons.
“We live under an umbrella of goodness and mercy.” (Pastor T. on Psalm 23)
“I am my beloved’s and he is mine…his banner over me is love.” (Song of Songs)
