Original song created by: Abel Tesfaye, Ahmad Balshe, Ben Diehl, Emmanuel Nickerson, Henry Walter, & Martin McKinney
Lyrics:
King David
David
David
He went through lions' brawls to protect his sheep
Bravo
He went from an anointed shepherd boy
To King Saul's private musician
Whoa
He killed Goliath
Became a giant slayer
After flinging his stone from his sling
It's true
It's true
The women so impressed
That songs, for him, they'd write
Irritated the fire out of King Saul
Until murderous became his plight
He got angry and hurt
Until David's execution burned in his eyes
And he made excuse
After excuse
But David excelled at cave dwelling
To save his life
He had to learn how to hide
Also a mastermind in battle fighting
This Philistines' King Achish
He always pacified
Started up his own army inadvertently
Still refused to kill God's appointed King
Repaid Saul's evil with God's grace and generosity
David was full of shepherd's charm ~
Shepherd's charm
Say, say, say
Shepherd's charm
Pray, pray, pray
Shepherd's charm
Say, say, say
That charm ~
Shepherd's charm
Say, say, say
Shepherd's charm
Pray, pray, pray
Shepherd's charm
Say, say, say, say
Cha cha cha, cha charm
Only one best friend, Jonathan
But had many concubines and brides
He was married to Michal, Ahinoam, and Abigail
Before Bathsheba became his wife
Uriah, in his army of 30
In his worst moment, he put a hit out of his favorite Hittite
Took years to be forgiven
Forgiven
Used the urim and thummim
Asking God to see
Before he pursued battles
He spent time praying and praising
He was a good shepherd to his people
He united a whole country
In God's trust
In God's trust
Plus David excelled at song writing
To decompress
He was a harp player mastermind
In leading his country
He protected his fellow Israelites
Had many sons, but chose Bathsheba's son Solomon to lead
To someday build God's temple
And write Proverbs and Ecclesiastes
While David wrote Psalms about life, death, and the in-between
David was full of shepherd's charm ~
Shepherd's charm
Say, say, say
Shepherd's charm
Pray, pray, pray
Shepherd's charm
Say, say, say
That charm ~
Shepherd's charm
Say, say, say
Shepherd's charm
Pray, pray, pray
Shepherd's charm
Say, say, say, say
Cha cha cha, cha charm
He stopped to sing
About the God above
His lyrics are now our treasures
He wasn't embarrassed about dancing before his people for God
Every kind of storm, he learned to weather ~
Shepherd's charm
Say, say, say
Shepherd's charm
Pray, pray, pray
Shepherd's charm
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Shepherd's charm
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Shepherd's charm
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Shepherd's charm
Cha, cha cha cha, charm
David ~
David ~
David ~
David ~
End
