"David's Song" lyrics

Out in the fields where the sheep would sleep
A boy with a harp learned the heart of the King
Hidden from men, but seen by Your eyes
You whispered his name beneath Judah's skies
While brothers stood tall, You looked past the height
For You saw a heart burning steady and bright
A child with a sling and a worshiper's flame
Long before crowns, You had chosen his name

You said, "This is the one
I've found a heart after My own."

This is David's song
From the pasture to the throne
From the giants that he faced
To the tears he cried alone
Through the battles, through the storms
Through the failures and the climb
Still he sang, "Adonai Ro'I
The Lord is my Shepherd
And every heartbeat is Yours, every moment in time."

He ran to the valley with stones in his hand
A boy full of faith when no one else would stand
"You come with a sword!" he cried with a roar
"But I come in the name of the Adonai I adore!"
And giants still fall where worshipers rise
Where courage is born from a heart Ehyeh refines
From shepherd to soldier, from dancer to king
His victory cry made the heavens ring

You said, "This is the one
I've found a heart after My own."

This is David's song
From the pasture to the throne
From the giants that he faced
To the tears he cried alone
Through the battles, through the storms
Through the failures and the climb
Still he sang, "Adonai Ro'I
The Lord is my Shepherd
And every heartbeat is Yours, every moment in time."

In the courts of the king, You fashioned a friend
Jonathan's heart knit to David's within
Two warriors bound by a covenant deep
A brotherhood forged in promises kept

But Saul burned with envy and hunted his name
Pursued him through deserts with fury and shame
Yet twice in the shadows, when David drew near
He whispered, "I will not strike
For before my God I stand in holy fear."

For love and obedience were stronger than might
He chose Your heart over winning the fight

You said, "This is still the one
For My mercy is stronger than sin that was done."

This is David's song
From the pasture to the throne
From the giants that he faced
To the tears he cried alone
Through the battles, through the storms
Through the failures and the climb
Still he sang, "Adonai Ro'I
The Lord is my Shepherd
And every heartbeat is Yours, every moment in time."

When shadows grew long and he wandered astray
He fell to the ground with his heart torn in shame
"Create in me, God, a new heart again,"
And mercy rushed in like a river of flame
You lifted his head, You silenced his fear
You called him Your son and drew him back near
For even a king who stumbled and wept
Found grace in the One whose covenant's kept

On his final breath he whispered Your praise
"Elohey Avotai, God of my fathers
Atik Yomin, Ancient of Days
My Deliverer, my Portion, my Refuge, my Light
You held every step through the darkness and light
And when my voice fades, let my legacy be
A heart that loved You eternally."

This is David's song
Let the nations sing along
From the child with a sling
To the throne You placed him on
Every victory, every fall
Every triumph, every cry
Still he sang, "Adonai Ro'I
The Lord is my Shepherd
And forever I'll dwell in His house when I die."

From shepherd to king
From dust to destiny
Let every heart like David's
Be found faithfully

Oree v'Yish'I, Adonai
Elohey Avotai, Atik Yomin
Oree v'Yish'I, Adonai
Elohey Avotai, Atik Yomin
Oree v'Yish'I, Adonai
Oree v'Yish'I, Adonai

God of my fathers, Ancient of Days
My Light and my Salvation, O Lord
