Covenant Keeper

Twila Paris opens "Covenant Keeper" pairing two roles against each other in the same breath — "covenant maker, I made a start, covenant breaker, I broke Your heart" — crediting God with beginning something the singer admits to damaging almost immediately.

"Your word is deeper, faithful and true" answers that admission with a claim about durability rather than a plea for a second chance, and the title's repeated request, "covenant keeper, make me like You," asks to be changed into the very quality just described rather than simply forgiven for lacking it.

The second verse repeats the same contrast in financial terms — "covenant maker, You made a way, infinite taker, I made You pay" — naming cost plainly instead of avoiding it. "But Your love was deeper" answers the same way each time, and the song's short closing repetition, "make me like You, make me like You," ends not on a resolved transformation but on the same request stated twice, as if repetition itself is part of the asking.
