| 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
|
| 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 |
