The Sons of Jesse

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

Perhaps a bit of a flashback within the Goliath story as this came from the previous chapter of 1 Samuel

Lyrics

The Lord told Sam, "I'm sick of Saul. I need him out, he has to fall You'll find his heir in Jesse's son Go meet him and I'll pick the one."

Then Samuel shook, and pleaded thus "It's Saul I fear, he'll rid of us!" The Lord said, "There's no need to fear. Just take a calf, it will be clear."

So Samuel met with Jesse's sons Met Eliab, cried "He's the one! Handsome guy, a King he'll be!" He then began to take a knee

But the Lord said...

"He has such a silly name. That is just the thing. There's no chance of real fame. He just can't be king."

Samuel then was at a loss "Bring out your next, your number two. Abinadab could be the boss!" The Lord said "Clearly, he won't do."

And the Lord said...

"He has such a silly name. That is just the thing. There's no chance of real fame. He just can't be king."

Now Samuel began to fret He wringed his hands, began to sweat The next one up was brave Shammah The Lord let out a great guffaw

Then the Lord said...

"He has such a silly name. That is just the thing. There's no chance of real fame. He just can't be king."

So one by one, he met them all And all of them the Lord appalled "Is there no one left here to wield?" "Only David out in the field."

"Bring him here," a spent Sam cried I came to pick, I thought I'd die Bring the youngster out to me Oh, to hope a King he'll be."

And the Lord said...

"He has not a silly name He is just the thing He will have the real fame He will be the king."
