Covenant woman, got a contract with the lord Way up yonder, great will be her reward Covenant woman shinin' like a mornin' star I know i can trust you to stay the way you are. Yes an' i just got to tell you that i do intend To stay closer than any friend Yes an' i just got to thank you once again For makin' your prayers known unto heaven for me And to you, always, so greatful i will forever be. I've been broken, shattered like an' empty cup I'm just awaiting on the lord to rebuild an' fill me up And i know that he will do it 'cause he's faithful an' he's true He must have loved me all so much to send me someone as fine as you. Yes an' i just got to tell you i do intend To stay closer, closer than any friend Yes an' i just got to thank you once again For makin' your prayers known unto heaven for me And to you, always, so greatful 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 passin' thru I'll always be right by your side, i got a covenant too. Yes an' i just gotta tell you that i do intend To stay closer than any friend Yes an' i just got to thank you once again For makin' your prayers known unto heaven for me And to you, always, so greatful i will forever be.
