David's three men risked death to surprise him
with a drink of water he longed to taste.
They showed their loyalty and love
by going far beyond his asking.
Can we not show our love to you,
doing what you command us to do?
For his obedience to all that you asked,
you have given Jesus a crown that gleams.
We know we do not deserve a crown like his;
but dear God, help us walk in your commandments.
with a drink of water he longed to taste.
They showed their loyalty and love
by going far beyond his asking.
Can we not show our love to you,
doing what you command us to do?
For his obedience to all that you asked,
you have given Jesus a crown that gleams.
We know we do not deserve a crown like his;
but dear God, help us walk in your commandments.
