At the cross you called it finished
Grace, wonderful grace, grace, wonderful grace
At the cross all of my sin is
Covered, covered, covered by your grace, oh
Covered, covered, covered by your grace, oh
At the cross love everlasting
Grace, powerful grace, grace, powerful grace
At the cross all of my past is
Covered, covered, covered by your grace, oh
Covered, covered, covered by your grace, oh
No matter what I’ve done, no matter where I’ve been
No matter how I fall, You pick me up again
You have removed my shame, You take as I am
You call me justified, now I am covered by Your grace
Covered, covered, covered by your grace, oh
Covered, covered, covered by your grace
No matter what I’ve done, no matter where I’ve been
No matter how I fall, You pick me up again
You have removed my shame, You take as I am
You call me justified, now I am covered by
No matter what I’ve done, no matter where I’ve been
No matter how I fall, You pick me up again
You have removed my shame, You take as I am
You call me justified, now I am covered by Your grace
Covered, covered, covered by your grace, oh
Covered, covered, covered by your grace
Covered, covered, covered by your grace, oh
Covered, covered, covered by your grace
No matter what I’ve done, no matter where I’ve been
No matter how I fall, You pick me up again
You have removed my shame, You take as I am
You call me justified, now I am covered by
No matter what I’ve done, no matter where I’ve been
No matter how I fall, You pick me up again
You have removed my shame, You take as I am
You call me justified, now I am covered by Your grace
The Planetshakers' song "Covered" is a heartfelt expression of gratitude for God's grace, which the singer describes as "glorious," "wonderful," "beautiful," and "powerful." The lyrics center around the idea that at the cross of Jesus Christ, all of our sin and shame is covered by His grace, and that no matter what we've done or where we've been, God's grace is always available to pick us up again. The song emphasizes the idea of being "covered" by God's grace, which is a powerful image of protection and redemption.
The first verse of the song describes how Jesus finished the work of redemption at the cross, and how God's grace covers all of our sin. The chorus emphasizes that we are covered by God's grace, no matter what we've done or where we've been. The second verse continues this theme, describing how God's love is everlasting and His grace is powerful enough to cover all of our past mistakes. The final verse expresses the singer's personal experience of being picked up by God's grace, and how this has resulted in a sense of "justification" and belonging.
Overall, the song is a powerful expression of the Christian belief in the unmerited grace of God, and how this can transform our lives and provide a sense of hope and redemption. It is a reminder that even in our darkest moments, we are never beyond the reach of God's grace, and that His love covers all.

This is my favorite song while I am meditating on His Word. For it makes me remember who I was before I met Jesus Christ. Glory to God.
