Ballad Of Little David
04:43
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
He was looking for a king
To take the place of Saul
Just one qualification, a heart after God
When Sammy came to town
With oil in his hands
Well Sammy said to Jesse
Are these the only ones?
Except for little David, he’s the youngest son
Well we will not sit down ‘til little David comes
BRIDGE 1
God doesn’t see as man sees
’Cuz man only sees with his eyes
God looks at the heart
He can tell the good apart from the bad
CHORUS 1
He was just a child he was but a youth
But it seems he was the only one
Who really knew the truth
When he laid the big man down
And took away his head
VERSE 2
He was a full-time shepherd
And he loved to play the harp
He was working for his dad
And writing songs for God
When he laid the big man down
And took away his head
BRIDGE 2
The king was very jealous
Tried to pin him to the wall
But David was very fast, and he outran old Saul
Jonathan his friend helped David get away
He knew that one day soon
He would be King Dave
BRIDGE 3
David danced before the Lord
He danced with all his might
He couldn't care less what people said
Not even Michael his wife
It was before the Lord
That's all that he would say
'Cuz That's the way it was
With ol' King Dave
CHORUS 2
He was just a child he was but a youth
But it seems he was the only one
Who really knew the truth
When he laid the big man down
And took away his head

VERSE 1
Every morning I wake up
I think of all that You have done for me
All that I am and have has come from You
My life, my home, my happiness
My church family and friends
The peace that comes from knowing You never ends
CHORUS 1
And my heart is filled with thanks and praise
My mind can’t express what my heart wants to say
My eyes well up with familiar tears
My heart simply says
Thank You for Your love for me
VERSE 2
Every night before I go to bed
If I think of all the problems that I face
Visions of disaster go ‘round my head
I’m out of place
So I meditate on Your faithfulness
Your love mercy and grace
You came from heaven to earth to die in my place
CHORUS 2
And my heart is filled with thanks and praise
My mind can’t express what my heart wants to say
My eyes well up with familiar tears
My heart simply says
Thank You for Your love for me

Thank You for Your cross

Best Years
05:01
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
Don’t want to wait ‘til tomorrow
No one knows what the future may hold
Don’t want to wait for my so-called education
Holy Spirit teach me all I need to know
A time to live, a time to die
And not a lot of time in between
Don’t want to wait ‘til I’m dead and in my coffin
Before I see the face of the King
CHORUS 1
I want to give the best years of my life to Jesus
I want to serve the Lord
With the strength of my youth
I want to walk in all His ways, determined to obey
To give the best years of my life to Him
VERSE 2
To be like Daniel in the house of the king
He chose to obey the word of God
To be like Shadrach, Meshech, and Abednego
To walk through the fire with Jesus by my side
Even Jesus when He was just 12 years old
He said, “I must be about My Father’s business”
And remember Joshua, Caleb, David, and Esther
And two books to Timothy
CHORUS 2
I want to give the best years of my life to Jesus
I want to serve the Lord
With the strength of my youth
I want to walk in all His ways, determined to obey
To give the best years of my life to Him
BRIDGE
Fallin' down on me
Fallin' down on me
Fallin' down on me
Fallin' down
I want the Holy Spirit
Falling down on me
Falling down on me
Falling down on me
Falling down on me
CHORUS 3
I want to give the best years of my life to Jesus
I want to serve the Lord
With the strength of my youth
I want to walk in all His ways, determined to obey
To give the best years of my life
To give the best years of my life to Jesus
I want to serve the Lord
With the strength of my youth
I want to walk in all His ways, determined to obey
To give the best years of my life
To give the best years of my life
To give the best years of my life
To give the best years of my life
To Him
Falling down on me
Falling down on me

I will follow my redeemer
To the place that I long to see

Come and be washed at the foot of the cross
VERSE 3
I can see the top of the hill
A silhouette against a darkened sky
I see Your garments there on the ground
The one’s the soldiers would later divide
I see Your mother kneeling before You
Weeping bitter and anguished cries
I hear You speak, “Why hast thou forsaken”
Yet You promised, “I will draw all men to me”
CHORUS 3
I will draw all men to me, I will draw all men to me
Come heavy laden, come bring your burdens
Lay them at the foot of the cross
I will draw all men to me, I will draw all men to me
Come all you weak, come all you poor
Come and be washed at the foot of the cross

Standing before His accusers He didn’t speak a word
Scourged and mocked He carried His cross

And two sinners just like me

Tell me of the cross so that I can plainly see
Tell me how the sinless One was sacrificed
To save a wretch like me
