Pressures of the King

David can do anything
This is why God made him king
Slayed a giant with a sling
David can do anything

David can do anything
This is why God made him king
Slayed a giant with a sling
David can do anything

David! The Philistines are attacking!

I am after your heart
I am after your heart

The Lord will give us a victory
Joab, gather the men! Let's go!

Behold, the crown of the Philistine king!

David can do anything
This is why God made him king
Takes the crown from Philistines
David can do anything

I have seen it
Seen what the crown can do
To even you
All the pressure makes you crumble till you break
And I'm left in your wake

David! The Amalekites are attacking!

Behold, the crown of the Amalekite king!

David can do anything
This is why God made him king
Enemies are trembling
David can do anything
David can do anything

I am after your heart
I am after your heart
We need our king!

Why are all these people here?
They need you to settle their disputes
Why me?
We need our king!
You're the king
You have the final word
I'm exhausted
How can I even begin to...

David! The Moabites are attacking!
Let's go, men!
We need our cases brought and heard before our king!
David will hear your cases when he returns from battle!

Behold, the crown of the Moabite king

David, we have 332 precepts that are waiting for you
Waiting for you
Here are all the dedications needing psalms and benedictions written by you
Written by you
David, there are five kings with daughters who are patiently awaiting a proposal
Yes! All of them want to marry you

Trust in your Shepherd
Listen to His word
Follow His voice

Moses never did forbid a king to take a wife when making allies
Allies
For every king's daughter that you marry, you will save a thousand soldiers' lives
And that seems very wise

Follow his ways
Follow his lead
If you go astray it could bring the country to its knees
Ouch!
Careful, your broken ribs
But no pressure

Just get me some more wine
They're right, Nathan
For every king's daughter I marry, I save hundreds of soldiers' lives
Tell those five kings they have a new son-in-law

Can he see me?
No child to call my own
Always alone
Every moment, the space between us grows
And I'm left in the shadows

Once we overtake the Ammonites, all the Promise Land is finally ours
Finally ours!
We outnumber them, so I'm sure it will only take a couple of hours
Maybe two hours!

Build a siege ramp
Battering ram
Knock the gates in
Send the mighty men
Absalom, quiet

Then we lay siege
Show no mercy
Take the city
And the victory!
Absalom, I said quiet!
David, battle plans can wait!
There are cases for you to hear today!
Father, listen to this song
Absalom, enough! Stop playing the harp!
Out of the throne room, now!

Your precepts, your wars!
Your family ignored
One more battle to claim the land
Come on now David, fulfill God's plans!

David can do anything
This is why God made him king
Slayed a giant with a sling
David can do anything

David can do anything (I've seen it all before)
This is why God made him king
Enemies are trembling (I've seen it all before)
David can do anything

David can do anything (Don't forget what the Lord has told you)
David can do anything
David can do anything (Don't forget who the kingdom belongs to) (I've seen it all before)
David can do anything
But no pressure
