David was a man after Gods own heart
David played it close to God
David played it smart
David was a shepherd boy anointed to be king
The youngest in his family yet deadly with a sling
The Spirit of the Lord was with him from the very start
He put his trust in God alone a man of Gods own heart
Because he put his trust in God he never fought alone
Even as a small boy he killed a giant with a stone
Psalmist and musician, prophet and a king
Sending evil spirits away when his harp would sing
David was a warrior who fought his battles hard
He always prayed to God for strength his main offensive guard
David sought the will of God in everything he did
Written on his heart is where the Word of God was hid
What a mighty man of valor, what a mighty man of God
Because he put his trust in God he beat allot of odds
But David wasn't perfect there was drama in his court
He fell in love with Sheba in a soap opera of sorts
This was a married woman, but David didn't care
He used his power as the king to have a love affair
He tried to cover up his sin and killed an innocent man
God sent the prophet Nathan to lay bare this evil plan
David was so sorry he laid down on the floor
He fasted and he prayed and poured his heart out to the Lord
In all His infinite wisdom and all His bountiful grace
God forgave His servant, but He put him in his place
By taking his son and removing his throne, David was reaping all he had sown
David repented and confessed his sins; this is where true revival begins
Sweetest healing is complete, deep in the heart on the mercy seat
A humble leader's set apart; we must be men after Gods own heart
David had desired to build a house unto the Lord
But God told David he had killed too many with his sword
His said His temple would be built, but built by David's son
As for David God had everlasting plans He wanted done
It's through your seed I will build My house an everlasting throne
Speechless David struggled with the honor God had shown
Giving thanks and praises praying to His Holy Name
This prophesy fulfilled the day the Son of David came
