Protect Me

Cover me, Protect me
Dear God, my spirit is low in me
save me from my enemies.
They are so cold.
They smile and try to steal my soul
all that glitter is not gold

Things are not what they seem
Oh, wake me from this terrible dream.
They circle me from every side
I try and try but cannot hide. Why?
For you prepared a table before me
and they want to eat whats mine;
you make a way for me to rise
yet they try to block my shine. Why?

They play a wicked game
and so they entice me to join
But I do not walk like them O God
they decide my fate with a coin
they frown.
these bloodsuckers fat and full
from the blood they suck
they suck the blood of all
until nothings left at all.

They look at me and see
 your blessings showering me
so they cannot harm me,
burden me, with their heavy load of misery
so full of envy and jealousy.Why?
For they ponder me from  far
like an unsolved mystery to resolve
they have no dirt on me,
That's why I walk the streets freely,
at night, sleep sweetly,
no shame is in me
for am not guilty.

Am not ashamed,
they cant tarnish my name
For my heart is clean
and their heart is not
you dont walk with them.Why?
for your blessings are not always
with the rich, you keep
your gifts for the righteous

Look, they wont even stop to talk
to me, greet me- they must be guilty. Why?
Cause you made me free but they want to shackle me
they cant even look at me in the eye sincerely
for your glorious light is shining on me so brightly
like the one in the sky- Selah
So they hide in the dark
because they fear the light
they know they are wrong
and you O God are right. Why?

Because they auction the earth
putting a price on what is free
you opened the door of life
but they are selling the key.
All things you've given unto me
my destiny is between me and thee
for my hands are clean.
And so you protect me.
For I cannot join them, no-
will not do what they do
I have to remain true...
no matter what they do.
