The Covenant Songtext
von Smith & Dragoman

A cord that pulls me closer
To the center of the moon
He came into this world on the King of Days
Not a moment too soon
All the spirit of faith contained in Him
Like a vessel He encompassed the Word
The ark on the water through storm seas
He sails on unreturned

He wore the holy armor
The Holy One from the East
In the soul of the world He built a fire
And I′m burning away in its heat
Oh, the promises made with creation
A covenant for all humankind
A fortress of strength for my wandering heart
To its magnet of love I will abide


And then He holds out His hand
He's doing His part
The promise of ages past
And I′m drawn like a cord to the covenant
Oh, I cling to the hem of His garment

The pure and stainless mirror
In the station of servitude
Pivot of oneness in a fractured world
Born of the ancient root
In the tablet of the branch she named you
The appointed one, the shepherd, the herd
Perfect exemplar to guide the wayward
Interpreter of His Word

And then He holds out His hand
He's doing His part
The promise of ages past
And I'm drawn like a cord to the covenant
Oh, I cling to the hem of His garment


Be thou so steadfast in My love
And thy heart shall not waver
Even if the heavens and earth
Arise against thee
Be thou as a flame of fire
And a river of life eternal
And be not shaken
For I am with you always
As ye have faith
So shall your powers and blessings be
