Verse 1: In Bethlehem's fields where shepherds keep, A boy with ruddy face, The youngest son that no one saw, Would find amazing grace. "Not by appearance does God choose, But by the heart within," And Samuel poured the oil that day, Where David's reign would begin. Chorus: A heart like His, a man after God's own heart, Through triumph and through trial, never far apart. With harp and sling, with psalm and praise, He'd seek God's face through all his days. A shepherd, warrior, king, and poet true, A heart that always turned to You. Verse 2: Five stones and faith against a giant's rage, "You come with sword and spear, But I come in Jehovah's name, The God whom all should fear." One stone, one shot, and Goliath fell, And Israel's hope was born, The shepherd boy became their champion, On that victorious morn. Chorus: A heart like His, a man after God's own heart, Through triumph and through trial, never far apart. With harp and sling, with psalm and praise, He'd seek God's face through all his days. A shepherd, warrior, king, and poet true, A heart that always turned to You. Bridge: Though he stumbled, though he fell, With Bathsheba's husband slain, Nathan's words cut deep and true, "You are the man," brought pain. But David's heart broke before God, "Against You, You alone I've sinned," True repentance, genuine sorrow, God's mercy would extend. Final Chorus: A heart like His, a man after God's own heart, Through triumph and through trial, never far apart. With harp and sling, with psalm and praise, He sought God's face through all his days. A shepherd, warrior, king, and poet true, A heart that always turned to You. The covenant would stand forever, Through his line, the promise true.
