a covenant between us

not as with Noah
a promise from God
never to flood the earth
never to destroy
nothing on Noah
no reciprocal promise
a one-sided gift
the depths of God’s mercy

a covenant between us
a reciprocal promise
a legacy, descendants
if you are faithful
walking before me
remaining ever faithful
the father of many nations
the covenant between us
