How long will we mourn what wasn’t,
When God calls us toward what could be?
Samuel feared the wrath of Saul
God continues – “Obey me.”
Samuel sacrificed along with Jesse
And seven of his sons
As each one passed God let them go
For this was not the one.
Mankind sees what’s on the outside
But the Lord looks on the heart
There was an eighth son tending sheep
Who wasn’t there from the start
It hadn’t even occurred to them
To bring David inside.
It wasn’t that they actively
Were attempting him to hide.
They had assumed the obvious
God wants to use the strong
But looking back we’re reminded
Whose strength filled David’s songs
So often we mistake meekness
For humble gentle hearts
But God pushes away our excuses
Hitching His horses to our carts
For it is in our weakness
Gods light has room to shine
If you’d assumed He’d use someone else
God whispers – “now’s the time…”
