Lyrics: The Rise of Solomon (1 Kings 1–2)

(Verse 1)
When David’s strength began to fade,
A rival son his claim had made.
Adonijah spread his feast,
But the true king came, by God’s decree.

(Pre-Chorus)
Bathsheba spoke with Nathan near,
“Remember, Lord, your promise clear.”

(Chorus)
Sound the trumpet, lift the cry,
God has chosen, His king will rise.
On David’s mule to Gihon’s gate,
Solomon stands where heaven waits.

(Verse 2)
The oil was poured, the people sang,
“The Lord’s anointed—let His name reign!”
David’s crown passed, the time was done,
The kingdom rose to the faithful one.

(Chorus)
Sound the trumpet, lift the cry,
God has chosen, His king will rise.
On David’s mule to Gihon’s gate,
Solomon stands where heaven waits.

(Bridge)
Justice came to Joab’s hand,
Abiathar left the land.
Adonijah’s plan undone,
God’s will stood firm through David’s son.

(Verse 3)
David’s words before he died,
“Walk in the law; in God abide.”
Solomon ruled with sword and prayer,
A faithful heart, a kingdom fair.

(Chorus)
Sound the trumpet, lift the cry,
God has chosen, His king will rise.
On David’s mule to Gihon’s gate,
Solomon stands where heaven waits.

(Outro)
The crown was set, the peace restored,
Through wisdom hard and faith assured.
For every throne that dares to stand,
God still rules by His own hand.
