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
