Waiting For David

The worshiping warrior

Your anointed

Dripping with the oil of gladness

The one after your own heart

Gather us to him, I pray

-Stephen Pursell, 8/30/04

Send David, Lord, send David

Who will replace him?

Saul pursues us all

How can we gather around him?

Where is the cave of Adullum?

Where is the stronghold of En Gedi?

The one you chose

The one you favor

The one who waits on you

The on who loves you and trusts you

Surely Samuel has anointed him already

But where is he?

Send David, Father, send David

Wondering, hungry for leadership

Waiting, waiting

We are his mighty men

They are all around me here

Crushed by Saul's courts

In prison and angry

Unwanted by the establishment

But giant killers in training

Eleazar, Shammah, Abishai

Who have you anointed?

Where is the leader to unite us?

But who is?

Okay, so I'm not he

But where is David?

Thrust out my a wicked regime

Embittered, disenfranchised

Your precious sons in the wilderness

Father, where is he?

This is not new

You have shown it before

Many times
