Artist/Band: Statler Brothers
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...
