Covenant love
Phil keaggySo true to the One who they love.
So true to their Lord who has given them
Life and joy and peace, deep peace within.
And although they're mistreated,
They continue to hold on in faith.
And they pray for the ones who display
Such cruelty towards them
Time and again, without end.
Covenant love, such a love that He pours out
Within the hearts of His children.
Covenant love, in faithfulness
Unto death their lives are joined as one, as one.
Models of the Master,
Living letters they are read by all men.
They are salt in the Earth, they are light in a
Dark world of sin, bearing good news of Him.
Children don't lose heart,
Your new life He renews day by day.
Keep your eyes on Eternity,
For the things that are seen fade away,
Fade away, fade away
Covenant love, such a love that He pours out
Within the hearts of His children.
Covenant love, in faithfulness
Unto death their lives are joined as one, as one.
