lyrics

O, Jesse, why have you called me home
I know better than do leave the sheep alone
O Prophet, why do you look at me?
Why does the hand of the Lord feel so heavy?
I'm just a shepherd, I'm just an artist
never thought that I'd write songs of such consequence
God of my fathers, God of Israel
Do you know me well? Do you know me well?
O the eyes of God don't see man's outward parts
He looks past his stature and sees his true heart
O the eyes of God don't see what man sees
I feel the eyes of God turn to rest on me
The hand of the Lord may it never leave my side
The hand of the Lord may it never leave these tribes
May the ear of the Lord always listen when I call
O Samuel, can you please explain it all?
I'm just a shepherd, least of my brothers
Never thought I'd live a life of great consequence
O Mighty Father, God of Israel
Do you know me well? Do you know me well?
O the eyes of man only see what they can
a simple young shepherd with a harp in his hands
but the eyes of God don't see what man sees
and God must see something when he looks at me
I can feel the oil poured over my head
and I hope it wasn't meant for someone else instead
I can feel the oil running down my chest
and for the glory of the Lord I will try my best
