about

This was written in the early 80's as a tribute to and prayer for Covenant House, the refuge for runaway kids in New York City. It uses the Lord's image of a reserved "mansion". He is, in his Person, the place where we can go, here and hereafter.

lyrics

COVENANT LOVE
by Mark A. Lajoie
Copyright 2011, RN SR 679-889
In the streets of New York Ci-ty
You're a kid with-out a home
And it is-n't ve-ry pret-ty
What they do to a kid a-lone
I'm the God-Man try-ing to reach you
Stand-ing near you in the night
I am Je-sus, let me teach you
'Cause it's hard to know what's right
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Not much I can do here
Not much I can say
For though I'm stand-ing near
You're still so far a-way
And I can't say that I blame you
When it seems like no-thing's new
In the name of love, they shame you
They don't love you like I do
And I've got what it takes to prove it
I've got love wounds in my hands
I'm a Rock and they can't move it
And with you I'm gon-na stand
CHORUS
I've got a room a place that you can stay
I've got a room a man-sion-sized es-tate
I've got a room a place that you can stay
Fur-nished with care and built with Co-ve-nant Love
And there is so much you can do there
So much you can say
You'll know I'm stand-ing near
You'll know I AM the way
And there's no one there to blame you
For the things they did to you
In the name of love, they shamed you
They don't love you like I do
And I've got what it takes to prove it
I've got love wounds in my hands
I'm a Rock and they can't move it
And with you I'm gon-na stand
CHORUS
I've got a room a place that you can stay
I've got a room a man-sion-sized es-tate
I've got a room a place that you can stay
Fur-nished with care and built with Co-ve-nant Love
See me stand-ing here
With Co-ve-nant Love
See my hands and feet
Co-ve-nant Love
I was wound-ed in the Heart
Co-ve-nant Love
Laid it on the Cross for you
Laid it on the line
So come and take this Bread
Come and take this Wine
Eat my Bo-dy
Drink my Blood
This is my place for you
A brand New Co-ve-nant Love
And I've got what it takes to prove it
I've got love wounds in my hands
I'm a Rock and they can't move it
And with you I'm gon-na stand
CHORUS
I've got a room a place that you can stay
I've got a room a man-sion-sized es-tate
I've got a room a place that you can stay
Fur-nished with care and built with Co-ve-nant Love
Co-ve-nant Love
Co-ve-nant Love
Eat the Bread of the brand new Co-ve-nant Love
Drink the Blood of the brand new Co-ve-nant Love
Co-ve-nant Love
I've got a room!
Co-ve-nant Love
