Anyone know who wrote this song? My dad used to always be singing it and I would love to know where this song came from.

Lord I need your sweet refreshing, for my tired and weary soul
Won't you take me to your pastures green, 'til my cup overflows
Guide me in the paths of righteousness, anoint my head with oil
By your precious Holy Spirit, Lord, refresh this weary child

Oh yes, I'm covered by the blood
Covered by the precious blood
I am covered by the blood of Calvary
Jesus died upon the tree, gave His life for you and me
Now I know that I am covered by the blood

He will take you o'er the mountain, through the wind, the rain and fire
When you're down in the valley low, His love will lift you higher
He will take you through the waters, He will take you through the flood
Just remember when the tempter comes, you're covered by the blood

I believe the first verse starts. Lord i need a sweet refreshing for my tired and weary soul.
