Title: The Rebellion of Absalom (2 Samuel 15–20)

(Verse 1)
The city wept as David fled,
Barefoot paths where tears were shed.
His throne behind, his heart ahead,
Trusting God with every step he led.

(Chorus)
O Absalom, my son, my son,
The war is won but I’ve lost the one.
The kingdom shakes, the trumpet calls—
And love still weeps through Judah’s halls.

(Verse 2)
Absalom rose with charm and pride,
Stealing hearts, the people’s side.
Hushai stayed and whispered true,
God’s plan held fast, though pain broke through.

(Chorus)
O Absalom, my son, my son,
The war is won but I’ve lost the one.
The kingdom shakes, the trumpet calls—
And love still weeps through Judah’s halls.

(Bridge)
Among the trees of Ephraim’s field,
The rebel’s hair became his yield.
Joab struck hard, the battle done,
And David wept for his fallen son.

(Verse 3)
Back to the city, David came,
But peace was fragile, never the same.
A kingdom torn, a father still grieves,
Trusting the Lord who never leaves.

(Chorus)
O Absalom, my son, my son,
The war is won but I’ve lost the one.
The kingdom shakes, the trumpet calls—
And love still weeps through Judah’s halls.

(Outro)
When hearts rebel and bonds are torn,
Forgiveness waits where faith is worn.
God still reigns through grief and strife,
Restoring hearts and shaping life.
