about

Illustraion by: Carter Boyce

lyrics

A lion's paw, a giant's sword, a king's wrath, my Lord
I played my part, I played my harp, You kept Your word
I'm a youngest son, a no one, outlaw, renegade
and I've clung to the promises You've made
the shepherd boy, the shepherd king
who loved the Lord and loved to sing//
the battlefield, the shattered shields, the enemies I've slain
are all I can offer up to the glory of Your name
I'm a soldier, sinner, mighty king, broken man
though I've stumbled I know, my God, You understand
I was after Your, after Your, after Your heart
that was all that really mattered
I was after Your, after Your, after Your heart
You could hear it in my songs
I'm a father, adulterer, a faithful son, a wretched one
I wild man with blood on his hands
head of a warring house, oh somehow, Father God, please sort it out
Hear my prayer, be there, remember me, remember how
I was after Your, after Your, after Your heart
Even when the road was hard
I was after Your, after Your, after Your heart
You could hear it in my songs
I was after Your, after Your, after Your heart
O God, my God
