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.
And i just got to tell you
i do intend
to stay closer than any friend.
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 he will do it 'cause he's faithful and he's true,
he must have loved me so much to send me someone as fine as you.
And i just got to tell you
i do intend
to stay closer than any friend.
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 we are strangers in a land we're passing through.
i'll always be right by your side, i've got a covenant too.
And i just got to tell you
i do intend
to stay closer than any friend.
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.
