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
