Analysis of I Got You Covered



You ain't got a prayer.
Jesus, you don't call.
I am always there
Praying for you all.

Don't at all worry.
I won't ever guit.
I say; "They're sorry,
God they don't mean it.

My first word, Jesus
I will always say,
Still for all of us;
Every single day.

So remember this,
I am always there.
I will never miss,
A day without prayer.

Best friend bought my meal
For me all the time.
Now, the way I feel,
Is written in rhyme.
