Lyrics: David: Rise of the Shepherd King (1 Chronicles 10–12)

(Verse 1)
The crown lay broken on the hill,
Saul fell silent, the night grew still.
He sought a voice no heart should hear,
And darkness claimed a faith once clear.

(Pre‑Chorus)
A warning carved in battle’s flame—
When trust is lost, we bear the blame.

(Chorus)
But from the ashes God called a name,
A shepherd boy with a brighter flame.
Through faith, not fear, the kingdom stands—
The rise of the king in God’s own hands.

(Verse 2)
From Hebron’s fields, the call rang wide,
Tribes came running, side by side.
The mighty men, the loyal heart,
Each took their place, each played their part.

(Pre‑Chorus)
From twelve made one, their hearts aligned,
The broken nation re‑designed.

(Chorus)
But from the ashes God called a name,
A shepherd boy with a brighter flame.
Through faith, not fear, the kingdom stands—
The rise of the king in God’s own hands.

(Bridge)
He took Jerusalem, strong and tall,
And built an altar where hearts could call.
Not by sword, but by God’s will,
The promise rose, unbroken still.

(Verse 3)
Saul’s fall warns of wandering eyes,
David’s faith in mercy lies.
From failure’s dust to courage new,
God rebuilds what hearts undo.

(Chorus)
For from the ashes God calls a name,
And lights the dark with holy flame.
Through love and truth, the kingdom stands—
The rise of the king in God’s own hands.

(Outro)
The shepherd leads, the hearts unite,
A fallen crown restored to light.
So when you stumble, lift your eyes—
God still raises kings who rise.
