MUSIC: K-Anthony – Cover Me

K-Anthony releades “Cover Me”.

The song “Cover Me, Lord” was inspired by a time in K-Anthony’s life when he felt overwhelmed by life’s challenges. Facing both physical and emotional trials, he turned to his faith for comfort and protection. The song reflects the profound sense of security and peace that comes from relying on the higher power, God, particularly during times of danger and adversity.

The chorus of the song, “Cover me, cover me, cover me, cover me Lord,” emerged from a deep place within K-Anthony’s soul. It is a plea for protection, a heartfelt cry for divine intervention in moments of danger and conflict. As the melody flowed, so did the words, capturing the essence of K-Anthony’s reliance on God for safety and guidance.

K-Anthony’s early musical experiences began in the church he attended in his youth, located in Falmouth, Jamaica. He is influenced by the island music, and you can hear his love of reggae and R&B. His strong musicality shows his classical training gained through his Bachelor of Arts degree in music.

K-Anthony’s songs are well crafted with the lyrics front and center with a decidedly optimistic tone, but the underlying theme of his music is his love for God and hope for the future. K-Anthony has a strong desire to bring that hope and sense of purpose in life to young people who feel lost and he uses his message to bring inspiration to others. K-Anthony is honored and humbled to be a 2021 JUNO Award nominee, the 2023 GMA Gospel Artist of the Year, and the 2024 JUNO Award recipient for Contemporary Christian/Gospel Artist of the Year.

Lyrics:
Chorus
Cover me, cover me, cover me, cover me Lord (when I’m in danger)
Cover me, cover me, cover me, cover me Lord (When the enemies try to fight me)
Cover me, cover me, cover me, cover me Lord
(When I’m in danger)
Cover me, cover me, cover me, cover me Lord
(When the enemies try to fight me)

Verse1

You picked me up, plant my feet, on solid ground, solid ground
Take me high, on angels’ wings
Keep me safe and sound, keep me safe and sound
My shield and protector You are where I find shelter
You’re all that I ever needed to get by
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
So in everything that I do
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
I’m just praying that You

Chorus
Cover me, cover me, cover me, cover me Lord (when I’m in danger)
Cover me, cover me, cover me, cover me Lord (When the enemies try to fight me)
Cover me, cover me, cover me, cover me Lord
(When I’m in danger)
Cover me, cover me, cover me, cover me Lord
(When the enemies try to fight me)

Verse 2
When weapons formed, to break me down
You hold the line, save my life
I never lost when You’re around, You’re my guide, You’re my light.
And when I feel lonely, You always there to hold me
I love that I’m Yours and You’ll always be mine.
