Ballad of Little David Lyrics

He was looking for a king

To take the place of Saul

Just one qualification, a heart after God

When Sammy came to town

With oil in his hands

Well Sammy said to Jesse

Are these the only ones?

Except for little David, he's the youngest son

Well we will not sit down 'til little David comes

God doesn't see as man sees

'cause man only sees with his eyes

God looks at the heart

He can tell the good apart from the bad

He was just a child he was but a youth

But it seems he was the only one

Who really knew the truth

When he laid the big man down

And took away his head

He was a full-time shepherd

And he loved to play the harp

He was working for his dad

And writing songs for God

When he laid the big man down

And took away his head

The king was very jealous

Tried to pin him to the wall

But David was very fast, and he outran old Saul

Jonathan his friend helped David get away

He knew that one day soon

He would be King Dave

David danced before the Lord

He danced with all his might

He couldn't care less what people said

Not even Michael his wife

It was before the Lord

That's all that he would say

'cause That's the way it was

With ol' King Dave

He was just a child he was but a youth

But it seems he was the only one

Who really knew the truth

When he laid the big man down

And took away his head
