| Lyrics: | by Bob Dylan
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 |
