F        Dm          Am                Gm
Covenant woman got a contract with the Lord
                                   Dm   C
Way up yonder, great will be her reward.
F         Dm     Am                     Gm
Covenant woman, shining like a morning star,
                                           Dm C
I know I can trust you to stay the way you are.

Chorus:
    A#            Dm
And I just got to tell you
       D#
I do intend
A#       Dm              D#
To stay closer than any friend.
A#             Dm
I just got to thank you
       D#
Once again
                  F
For making your prayers known
Unto heaven for me
And to you, always, so grateful
                A#
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.

Chorus:
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.

Chorus:
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.
