There was a time when I just can not understand
How God can love his pain, the son of Jesse
In direst quiet sinner like him, was set apart
It took some time to know
Why he is called the man after God's heart
You were filled with faith and devotion
Like a deer, handing full water to you all from God
You are humble when you asked, who you are
How God can mind you, amongst the moon and stars
You are confident and you fear nothing
For the Lord is your light in Him, you are saved
You are faithful and true and loving
You gaze only on God's beauty and seek His face
Your beloved God delights in you
You worship him with gladness,
Sing to him and call and wait upon His name
In His presence you remain
In His dwelling place you stay
You are David, the man after God's heart
You will pray and meditate on His word
Though your sins are great, you draw near to Him
You cry in grief and seek forgiveness
By His spirit, He helps you change your ways
Your beloved God delights in you
You worship him with gladness,
Sing to him and call and wait upon His name
In His presence you remain
In His dwelling place you stay
You are David, the man after God's heart
And you exalt the Lord at all times
His praise is always on your lip
Because you love the Lord, He rescues you
His faithfulness reaches to the sky
(Music)
In His presence you remain
In His dwelling place you stay
You are David, the man after God's heart
You are David, the man after God's heart
