“ KING DAVID “



MY NAME IS SIMPLY DAVID,
BUT GOD MADE ME A KING.
AND THROUGH HIS STRENGTH & WISDOM,
HE TAUGHT ME MANY THINGS.


FOR I STARTED OUT A SHEPPARD,
AND FOUGHT MY FIGHTS IN WAR.
I NEVER COULD IMAGINE,
A GOD WHO LOVES ME MORE.


HE TAUGHT ME LOVE AND PATIENCE,
AND THEN HE TAUGHT ME FEAR.
HE HELPED ME LEAD A NATION,
AND HOW TO PERSEVERE.


FOR WHEN MY GOD IS FINISHED,
AND THE MOLD IS TRULY SET.
YOU’LL NEVER THIRST AGAIN, MY CHILD,
AND NEVER WILL FORGET.


EVEN THOUGH WE ARE NOT PERFECT,
IF YOUR LOVE FOR GOD IS TRUE.
THE LORD WILL BE, YOUR CARPENTER,
AND BUILD A HOUSE FOR YOU.


A HOUSE WITH MANY MANSIONS,
AND STREETS ALL PAVED WITH GOLD.
SO YOU CAN START YOUR LIFE OF NEW,
AND FORGET, YOUR LIFE OF OLD.
