JESUS' MANTLE
Clothed by his mantle, covered by
His blood, draped in his presence,
Surrounded by his love that keeps
Me warm in the middle of a storm,
Comforts me and keeps me safe,
With his perfect saving grace, no
Need for a disclaimer, or ever feel
Unsure, because the Savior who's
Chosen me, helps me to endure as
He strengthens me tenderly, wraps
Me in his love, steadies and sets me
Free, binds satan's hold and the lies
That he has told those who believe
In Jesus Christ the Son, who died in
In our place....that we could be free
Forever, separated from the ravages
Of sin, death, and the lake of fire to be
With GOD who gives victory, eternally!
