Lyrics for Song: Song of David
Lyrics for Album: The Gospel Spirit [Mercury] [2004]
(Written by Don Reid, Harold Reid)
David, son of Jesse
Shepheard to his fathers sheep
Played the harp when Saul got weary
Rocked the giant till he was fast asleep.
People prayed When Saul killed thousands
When David killed ten thousand they cheered
And all that noise they saw angry
And the shepheard was on the lamb for years.
David was a man down in Israel
Fighter, lover, shepherd, king, outlaw
And through it all God loved him and forgave him
David the man who'd done it all.
Bathsheba wife of Uriah
Took a bath under David's watchful eye
He fell in love and took her body
Then he sent Uriah out to die.
He was weak like you and I are
And as a sinner David did his part
But God said this man David
Is a man after my own heart.
David was a man down in Israel
Fighter, lover, shepherd, king, outlaw
And through it all God loved him and forgave him
David the man who'd done it all
Ah, David the man who'd done it all...
