COVENANT WOMAN
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.
Words & Lyrics by Bob Dylan 1980
.
Those who live more and more for others...
those, who like Jesus,
extend themselves to respect and value every other person...
these are God's saints!
Ironically,
it is often when we feel inadequate
or sinful
that God's love and grace come to reassure us
and turn us around.
"Blessed are those who know their need of God, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:3.
What is important to God
is not our perfection,
as if that were possible,
but our understanding
that is what we need in order to find our deepest selves.
When we know why we have a need of God,
When we understand that the world does not rest on our shoulders,
and that God loves us deeply
despite our many warts,
then we will never be alone,
and that our life is not some test
we have to pass".
Rather, life is a relationship
with God, that we simply have to live.
--The Right Rev. Robert W. Ihloff
