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.
