Artist Statement

I absolutely loved working on this project. First, I wrote the lyrics and melody. Then, I created the music/instrumentation. The final step was recording the footage for the video and editing.

How it fits into contest

Such an awesome topic! The verses are most definitely the inspiration for my song. I was also inspired by all the hardships the world has experienced this year.

Credits

Me!! I was a one-woman show with this project. Hehe!

Transcript / Lyrics

I’M COVERED WITH HIS ARMOR

When trouble’s all around me
It's so hard to breathe
Everywhere there's chaos
It’s hard for me to see

A way out
When I am surrounded by evil
I lift my hands and I pray

The word is my sword
My faith is my shield
The Mightiest is my Protector

I’m covered with His amour
I’m covered
(repeat)

When you sit in silence
Holding back the tears
Saddest all around you
It’s hard for you to see

A way out
When you are surrounded by evil
Just lift of your hands and pray

The word is your sword
Your faith is your shield
The Mightiest is your Protector

You’re covered with His amour
You’re covered
(repeat)

When the darkness comes
I will stand firm
When flaming arrow come
I’ll block them with prayer

I’m covered with your amour
I’m covered
(repeat)

The word is my sword
My faith is a shield
The Mightiest is my Protector

I’m covered with His amour
I’m covered
(repeat)
