Father, where is he? This is not newMany times Your precious sons in the wildernessWhere is the leader to unite us? Crushed by Saul's courts In prison and angry Unwanted by the establishment But giant killers in training Eleazar, Shammah, Abishai Waiting, waitingSurely Samuel has anointed him already But where is he? The one you favorWhere is the stronghold of En Gedi? Dripping with the oil of gladness The one after your own heartStephen Pursell, 8/30/04 | ![]() |
