Analysis of The Answer



You don’t need rhythm and rhyme
To get through tough times
You just need to get a hold
Of the One who shines like gold
Let Him take full control
And your future low and behold
Will accomplish the promises He foretold
Take it easy, relax
For you are covered to the max
By the greatest protector of all
Jesus Christ, the Lord.

If you are covered by His blood
Then when the enemy comes in like a flood
No matter how they flock and swarm
You are in the shelter of His mighty arm.
God sees, He knows, He understands
Because what you are going through is a part of His plan.
In order for you to get out of the mire
Then my friend, you just have to endure the fire.

So hold on, don’t give up the fight
The Lord has given you power and might
So when the enemy tries to defeat
Just call on that name and repeat
Satan, you are beneath
Your place is under my feet.
