He tells us a bit about his inspiration for the song below, you can also see the lyrics.

Psalm 91 verse 4 says this:

He Shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge.

The assurance of God’s protection, God’s care and fatherly love is something that comes across in this psalm with the beautiful illustration of being sheltered by the Lord under his wings. ‘Covered’ is a love song to God. it speaks out those truths found in the psalms, it’s a sung reminder of who we are in sight of God: fearfully and wonderfully made… being beloved children, and how even in the darkest valleys that same protection that God promises us does not stop, in fact it’s constant, his faithfulness will never stop.

So as you play this song, whether on your own or as part of corporate worship, may it bless you. May it remind you of your identity in God,

Covered lyrics

Who can fathom the depths of your grace and your mercy?
heights of your splendour and glory,
Who is like you, Lord?

Great in power
ruler of Heaven and Zion
no principality higher
who is like you, Lord?

Under the shadow of your wings
I know, that I’m covered by you
almighty God, who fights for me
I know, that I’m covered by you

I am Fearfully and
wonderfully made in your image
bought and adopted to Sonship
I’m a child of yours

You’re there through the night and the day

your faithfulness constant through change
and I am assured
I’m a child of Yours

Under the shadow of your wings
I know, that I’m covered by you
almighty God, who fights for me
I know, that I’m covered by you

In the valley of the shadow
I will fear no evil thing
For you Father, go beside me
I am covered by your wings
