Resonate the Word - From Shepherd to King Lyrics

A voice arose in Israel's land
We want a king, a mighty hand
They turned away, they lost their sight
But still, the Lord would lead the fight
A prophet wept, the Lord declared
They reject Me, but I still care
So Saul was crowned, but pride took hold
A heart of stone, a kingdom cold
Oh, not by strength, not by might
But by the Lord who gives the fight
He lifts the low, He calls the small
His hand alone will rule them all
A shepherd boy, a sling, a stone
Stood before a giant alone
The battle raged, the sword was drawn
Yet in the Lord, the war was won
But jealous rage, a hunted life
Through caves and fear, through endless strife
Yet mercy flowed, he spared the king
Still waiting for the crown to bring
Oh, not by strength, not by might
But by the Lord who gives the fight
He lifts the low, He calls the small
His hand alone will rule them all
At last, the throne, the kingdom high
Jerusalem beneath his eyes
The ark returned, the nation blessed
But still, his heart would fail the test
He saw, he took, he broke, he lied
A faithful man, now torn inside
Yet mercy came, the tears ran free
The Lord restores, He still redeems
One will come, a greater Son
A throne forever, never undone
Through David's line, His light will shine
A King of mercy, love divine
Oh, not by strength, not by might
But by the Lord who gives the fight
His kingdom reigns, His light will shine
A King of mercy, love divine
A shepherd's heart, a warrior's hands
A broken king, yet still He stands
Through rise and fall, through loss and gain
The Lord alone will always reign
