This is a prayer to God with the songwriters version of God's response.
the lines that follw "OVER ME..." is the songwriter praying to God.
The lines that follow "YOU"RE UNDER ME..." is God's response.
The chorus is all pleading from the songwriter to cover him.
The bridge, I think, is God's response with the songwriter injecting throughout you got to cover me from all this stuff
I think it is a somewhat bitter acknowledgement that God is in control, the songwriter doesnt like all this crap happening to him but lifting it up to God saying cover me
