Heart Like David's Long

+ Show full styles

(Verse 1) From the fields where the sheep would roam, A boy with a sling and a heart like home. Faced a giant, no fear in his eyes, Threw that stone, watched Goliath's demise! He played his harp, soothed a king's weary soul, But deep inside, a fire burned whole. Not perfect, no, he stumbled and fell, But he got back up, rang that victory bell! (Chorus) Oh, David, man after God's own heart! Flawed and fierce, right from the start. Dancing wild, singing psalms in the night, Chasing grace with all of his might. Through the highs and the lows, the wins and the sins, He turned to the Lord, let the healing begin. Heart like David's, beating strong and true, A real human king, just like me and you! (Verse 2) Crowned as king, but temptation came knockin', Saw Bathsheba, and his world started rockin'. Made mistakes that cut deep like a knife, Sent a good man to lose his life. But when the prophet called him out bold, David broke down, his story retold. Cried out in sorrow, "Have mercy on me!" Washed clean by faith, set his spirit free! (Chorus) Oh, David, man after God's own heart! Flawed and fierce, right from the start. Dancing wild, singing psalms in the night, Chasing grace with all of his might. Through the highs and the lows, the wins and the sins, He turned to the Lord, let the healing begin. Heart like David's, beating strong and true, A real human king, just like me and you! (Bridge) He wrote songs of joy, of valleys so dark, Trusted God fully, left his mark. Warrior poet, with a crown on his head, But his greatest battle was the one in his bed. Repented quick, no hiding away, Loved God's word every single day! (Verse 3) Built a legacy, passed the throne to his son, But his heart stayed wild till the race was run. From humble beginnings to Jerusalem's throne, He showed us that mercy is never alone. So here's to the man who lived life full throttle, Human and holy, straight from the bottle! (Final Chorus) Oh, David, man after God's own heart! Flawed and fierce, right from the start. Dancing wild, singing psalms in the night, Chasing grace with all of his might. Through the highs and the lows, the wins and the sins, He turned to the Lord, let the healing begin. Heart like David's, beating strong and true— Let's chase that heart, me and you!
