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.
