lyrics

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
