Cover Down, Pray Through (unreleased song - May 1, 1980) Songtext
von Bob Dylan

Well, you heard about Pharaoh′s army trampling through the mud
Heard about the Hebrew children redeemed by blood
Same spirit dwellin' in you that raised Christ from the dead
If you′re quick in your mortal body then let it under your head

And cover down, cover down, pray through
Cover down (pray through)

Got to have protection by the full armour of the Lord
The word of God is sharper than any double sided sword
He's the hammer of salvation, bestblade of righteousness
Genesis to revelation, repent and confess

Cover down, cover down, pray through
Cover down (cover down, pray through)


Well, you wake up early in the morning, turning from side to side
Something giving you a warning, you can't run and you can′t hide
Demands are laid upon you and burdens you can′t bear
Sins you can't even remember are always waiting to say hello to you there

Cover down, cover down, pray through
Cover down, cover down, pray through

You got an image of yourself, I know, but you′ve built it all alone
It will come tumbling, tumbling down just like the walls made of stone
You will be separated from everything you seem to be
You think you'll be liberated but the grave won′t set you free

You got to cover down, cover down (pray through)
Cover down (cover down, pray through)
(Cover down, cover down, pray through
Cover down, cover down, pray through)

(Cover down, cover down, pray through
Cover down, cover down, pray through)
