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 the way you are.

Yes, and I just gotta 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 gotta 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 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.
