Covenant Woman

Covenant woman got a contract with the Lord

Way up yonder, great will be her reward

Covenant woman, shining like a morning star

I know I can trust you to stay where you are

Yes, and I just got to tell you

That I do intend

To stay closer than any friend

Yes, and I just got to thank you once again

For making your prayers known unto heaven for me

And to you, always, so grateful I will forever be

I've been broken, shattered like an empty cup

I'm just waiting on the Lord to rebuild and fill me up

And I know that He will do it 'cause He's faithful and He's true

He must have loved me, oh, so much to send me someone as fine as you

Yes, and I just got to tell you

I do intend

To stay closer, closer than any friend

Yes, and I just got to thank you once again

For making your prayers known unto heaven for me

And to you, always, so grateful I will forever be

Covenant woman, intimate little girl

Who knows those most secret things of me that are hidden from the world

You know that we are strangers in a land we're passing through

I'll always be right by your side, I've got a covenant too

Yes, and I just got to tell you

That I do intend

To stay closer than any friend

Yes, and I just got to thank you once again

For making your prayers known unto heaven for me

And to you, always, so grateful I will forever be
