Covenant Queens

*(Verse 1)* I was never meant for the side of the room Never made to be hidden in shadows and gloom You didn’t call me to be second in line You wrote “covenant” on this heart of mine *(Pre-Chorus)* Sixty queens, eighty more Countless others walking through the door But You stopped, You saw, You said my name And nothing’s ever been the same *(Chorus)* You chose me to be a queen, not a concubine Crown on my head, not a part-time sign Not a secret, not a maybe, not a side I’m the bride You bought with Your life Royal blood, holy flame Daughter of the King is my name You chose me to be a queen, not a concubine Seated with You, chosen by design *(Verse 2)* Concubines get the corner of the house But queens get the vow, get the spouse I’m not an option You’re trying to hide I’m the one You lift up to Your side No more shame, no more lesser thing You called me beloved, You made me a queen *(Pre-Chorus)* You are a chosen people A royal priesthood, holy nation Called out of darkness Into Your marvelous light *(Chorus)* You chose me to be a queen, not a concubine Crown on my head, not a part-time sign Not a secret, not a maybe, not a side I’m the bride You bought with Your life Royal blood, holy flame Daughter of the King is my name You chose me to be a queen, not a concubine Seated with You, chosen by design *(Bridge)* I won’t bow to “less than” I won’t live in “almost” You called me out, set me apart Put a ring on my finger and fire in my heart If He’s the King and I’m His bride Then I’m royalty, justified *(Breakdown)* Say it: Queen! Not a concubine Say it: Chosen! By divine design *(Final Chorus)* You chose me to be a queen, not a concubine Crown on my head, not a part-time sign Not a secret, not a maybe, not a side I’m the bride You bought with Your life Royal blood, holy flame Daughter of the King is my name You chose me to be a queen, not a concubine Seated with You, chosen by design I’m chosen by design *(Outro)* Sixty queens, eighty concubines... But He calls me “My dove, My perfect one.” That’s who I am.
