Lyrics[]
Samuel:
Vayomer Adonai: "Koom m'shacheihu ki-zeh hu"
Samuel and Men:
And the Lord said to me this is he
Thou shalt anoint him
Samuel:
Vayomer Adonai: "Koom m'shacheihu ki-zeh hu"
Samuel and Chorus:
Vayomer Adonai: "Koom m'shacheihu ki-zeh hu"
David:
Could you explain what you've done?
Oh, I know it's a serious thing
Samuel:
Serious? Very.
All in good time there'll be mountains to move
There'll be battles to fight
Bodies to bury
Don't hurry to change your life
Stay on the hill and plain
Turn to your flock again--back to the field
God has a plan for you
And I have some ideas too
All in good time His word will be revealed
David:
I'm taking it as it comes
And watching it as it goes...
Samuel:
Perfect.
