The Covenant

Words and Music by Laura Larkins

(Colossians. 1:24-29,  Hebrews 10: 12-21 & 16-18, Deut 10:12-21)

This is the covenant, most sacred:
I am giving you all myself.
I pledge my life to You.
Here is my strength and willingness to fight beside You.

I take Your scars upon me as my own;
You’re flesh of my flesh,
Bone of my bone, (Jesus!)
This is Your timeless covenant.

This is the covenant, most sacred:
I accept your blood and mingle your life with mine.
You gave your life and then shed your blood
Instead of mine.

Defended me to death, my Lord,
and Your scars are real.
I exchange my will for yours
You gave up your will.

This is Your timeless covenant.

This is the covenant, most sacred.
I am pledging you all I own for the love of You and Yours,
Those You love will be mine and I’ll defend the poor.

If anyone attacks my Love,
they come against me.
And when I am weak,
You are my strength.

This is Your timeless covenant.
