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
