I am old now but I remember as a boy, how I wrestled with the lion How Goliath bared his teeth just like a beast and mocked the Lord Almighty. I recall still the gentle coolness of the water. How it wore the stones to smoothness And when Samuel poured the oil, I heard the heart of Yahweh calling
CHORUS King of Israel, reign upon the throne of my heart And every knee will bow, even though the nations rebel Oh Everlasting Shepherd the world sings Yours is the kingdom now and ever
Who am I Lord that heaven’s maker would be mindful, of the last in line for battle that you’d hear the songs of pasture and of praise and call upon your servant. May your Kingdom, be the song housed in my body Though I see my sin before me In your loving-kindness let this house endure, Oh King Almighty
CHORUS
I’m a shepherd, but I have wandered like sheep let my hungry eyes lose sleep Gladly made my bed a den of thieves still you did not leave me I am crumbling, as my house decays around me I am humbled by your promise I knew the crown was never mine to keep, Oh Holy Shepherd
