Song: Story of David & Jonathan Music, Lyrics, and Voice: Ai Note: Everything in this song is Biblically Correct!
[Verse1] From the valley floor where Goliath fell, A bond was forged, a covenant held. Young David, the shepherd, and Jonathan, the heir, Found in each other a solace beyond compare. No jealousy of birth, no thought of the crown, Could ever bring Jonathan’s pure spirit down.
In the chamber of Saul, when envy burned low, Jonathan spoke well, to save David from woe. "Why would you harm him? What wrong has he done?" He pleaded for David, beneath a cold sun. His father’s dark spear, a terrible sight, Was turned upon Jonathan in furious spite.
[Verse2] Through fields and through caves, a secret is shared, A sign with an arrow, a plot is declared. "The arrows are beyond you! The time has come to flee!" Cries Jonathan, weeping, for his friend to be free. They kiss and they weep by the stone Ezel, A promise made in God's name, a final farewell.
In the wilderness, hunted, where fear and doubt lie, Jonathan finds David, with an encouraging eye. "Don't be afraid," he whispers, "for God is with you." He strengthens his hand, his friendship ever true. "You shall be king, and I will be at your side," A final assurance, where their spirits abide.
[Verse3] The day of the battle, on Gilboa's high ground, Saul and his son, no longer are found. A lament from David, of anguish and grief, For the brotherly bond, a life so brief. "Your love was more wonderful," the sad king does sing, "Than the love of all women," to his sorrow he clings.
And in the years after, as king on the throne, David's heart never left Jonathan alone. He sought Mephibosheth, a son left lame, And showed steadfast kindness, in his dear friend’s name. For a covenant sealed in a love so profound, With loyalty and honor, forever was bound.
[Chorus] A bond of souls, a covenant made strong, Where loyalty and love truly belong. From different paths, their spirits intertwined, A fellowship of heart and of the mind.
Though duty called and dangers did arise, Their unwavering faith shone in each other's eyes. A prince's heart, a shepherd's spirit bold, A story of devotion, bravely told.
