Singer-songwriter and pastor Steve Camp talks about “He Covers Me,” the 1986 song that has been a part of my faith journey since coming to Christ in 1984. Steve explains how the song grew out of Romans 5 and the truth that grace abounds more than sin. He unpacks what sanctification is and how it works day by day, tells the story of his divorce, his nine-year wait, and his marriage to Cindy, and shares the song “Head of a Broken Home.” He closes with candid thoughts on parenting adult children (forgiveness, repentance, and an open door at home), then prays for estranged families.EVERY WEEK, receive more help, hope, and encouragement for estranged parents.

[LINK]About Steve CampSteve Camp was born April 13, 1955, in Wheaton, Illinois, to Christian parents, and professed faith in Jesus by about age five. As a young believer, he was befriended by Larry Norman, who advised him on singing and songwriting, and was encouraged by Keith Green to commit more fully to ministry through music. He studied musical composition and theory at Roosevelt University and business law and music at the College of DuPage.Steve’s recording career began in the 1970s. He signed with Myrrh Records in 1977 and released his debut album, Sayin’ It with Love, in 1978. He was also known for causes beyond the stage. In 1985, he organized CAUSE, a project of about 90 Christian artists, to record “Do Something Now,” with proceeds going to Compassion International. The effort earned him the NARAS President’s Merit Award in 1986. He wrote “Martin,” a tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. that was performed by Shirley Caesar and won a Grammy. On Reformation Day, October 31, 1998, he issued his own 107 Theses, modeled on Martin Luther’s Ninety-five Theses, calling for reform in the Christian music and publishing industries. The same year, at the invitation of Dr. John MacArthur, he became an associate pastor at Grace Community Church.Today, Steve pastors a church in Florida and continues to produce music.Learn more at RealSteveCamp.com.The Story Behind “He Covers Me”Steve says most of his songs begin with a portion of Scripture, and this one came from the closing verses of Romans 5, where, as Paul puts it, where sin abounded, grace superabounded. He recalls a saying shared by Reformation-era and Puritan heroes that he and Cindy admire: we are great sinners, but Jesus is a far greater Savior. Grace does not only save us. Romans 5:2 says we stand in grace, and 2 Timothy 2:1 shows Paul urging a frightened Timothy to be empowered by grace from a Roman prison, shortly before his own execution.What Sanctification MeansSanctification carries three senses in Scripture, and each means “set apart.” He walks through them:Set apart at salvation. Citing 1 Peter 1:2 and 1 Thessalonians 4, he says we are set apart from lawlessness to righteousness and from death to life. We have died once to the penalty of sin.Set apart day by day. In real-life terms, we die daily to the power of sin. Citing John 17:17, he says that as we take in Scripture, it molds us after Christ, and the Lord shapes us into His image with His nail-scarred hands.Set apart in glory. Citing 1 Thessalonians 5 and 1 Corinthians 13, he says being fully sanctified “in soul, mind, and body” is not this life. It is glorification, when we see Him and are like Him.When trials, tragedy, or tribulation come, Steve says one of the first responses should be to come before the Lord in brokenness and say that He has allowed this trial to touch a part of our lives in order to conform us further to Christ. He points to Joseph, who endured and trusted God through the process: what they meant for evil, God meant for good.“Head of a Broken Home”Mark introduces another song about the family side of divorce and remarriage. It comes from Steve’s record dedicated to John Piper and his work on the chief end of man, which is to glorify God by enjoying Him forever, and it was not supposed to be on the record. Steve tells the story: at midnight, he was mixing the final mix of an independent project with his engineer, Terry Christian. Terry, not a believer at the time, who knew Steve’s former wife, heard the new song, got through the first verse with tears in his eyes, and set up a microphone and piano so Steve could play it live. Then he said, “That’s going on this record.” The song is called “Head of a Broken Home.”Trusting a Sovereign GodMark says these stories reflect the core ideas behind his online work and his book. First, we must trust a sovereign God, whose plan is perfect, including His plan for reconciliation, whether on this earth or in eternity. Second, God loves our children infinitely more than we do, and loves us as parents ...
