David's Secret conversation with God..

Who wouldn't want to be at your service,

serving the greatest King of all time?

Who wouldn't want to be summoned

into the courts of the mighty king?

But who really wants to bear the burden,

for the burden is too heavy?

"You anoint my head with oil;

my cup overflows."

I wrote that,

with my own pen and ink I put it on the scroll

when you anointed me.

But Lord, I'm just a shepherd.

Give me a staff and a flock of sheep

and I'll do that with a smile on my face.

In the wilderness I find my place,

with the trees dancing to the wind

and birds singing in the sky.

I've learned to sing songs of worship on my own,

and recite words of praise to the audience of one.

I've learned to worship even when nobody listens

and to love my flock just as you love me.

But this?

I know

"The Lord is my shepherd

I shall not want."

I wrote that, and every word of it is true.

But this?

Me? A king?

Lord, I'm just a boy, the youngest

and the least favored in my family.

My father didn't even want to mention a thing about me

when you sent a prophet to my house.

Lord, I'm scared.

But again, I trust you.

And this oil that you've poured on me

makes me desire even more to serve you.

so, I will set aside all my fears and I put my trust in you.

"I will fear no evil, for you are with me..."

I wrote that, and Lord I believe it.

Let your will be done...

And since you you want me to lead your people,

I'll be honored to do so, my Lord.

No matter how long it takes,

I believe you, I will be king.
