Petra - Run for Cover lyrics

Words and music by Bob Hartman

Based on 1 Peter 5:5

You muyst have seen the light somewhere along the way

The flashing warning sign that you would not obey

You ran the roadblock before the danger zone

You cut the lifeline - now you're on your own

(Chorus)

Run for cover - better get under authority

Run for cover - better listen to somebody

Like a lone ranger running through the night

With noone to tell you if you're wrong or right

Run for cover

You want to call the shots - you want to take control

You want to throw the dice and gamble with your soul

Taking the liberties that grace will not afford

Is He your Master, can you call Him Lord?

Why do you stand out in the rain

What do you think you have to gain

When you try in your own strength but don't prevail

The arm of flesh will always fail
