Covenant Stick

Verse 1] A careful hand found a strong-hewn staff And smoothed each edge until it passed Then sacred words were carved in grain To keep their charge through loss and change [Chorus] I reach for one end, but the whole thing turns A promise held is a promise learned No half-way road, no borrowed part The law stays firm; it shapes the heart [Verse 2] I cannot take just what feels light And leave the weight outside my sight The path is whole, the choice is clear I bow my head and draw You near [Chorus] I reach for one end, but the whole thing turns A promise held is a promise learned No half-way road, no borrowed part The law stays firm; it shapes the heart [Bridge] Each decision plants a seed Each consequence can teach my need Make me mindful, make me still Teach my ears to hear Your will [Final Chorus] I reach for one end, but the whole thing turns A promise held is a promise learned No half-way road, no borrowed part The law stays firm; it shapes the heart [Outro] So I will listen, pray, and mend And hold the truth from end to end
