Mephibosheth Lyrics

MephiboshethDavid made a covenant with Jonathan
A promise of trust, the spilling of blood
Slaughter the heifer, walk between two parts
Off with my head if I break the oathMephibosheth
Blood covenant
Come onJonathan died in battle
David ascend to the throne
Mephibosheth a cripple
Son of Jonathan lost
Left behind as they fled
Oath of death upon David's headMephibosheth
Blood covenantThe search went out for Mephibosheth
Caught, imprisoned, cursing rebel
Brought before King David's throne
Thought that death was imminentDavid remembers the covenant oath
He'll show kindness to Jonathan's house
Seen now, as the son of the king
All that was Saul's would now be hisYeah, alright, come on, tonight, yeah

Here we goYou are Mephibosheth
David, symbolic of God
You're resisting His throne
The blessing of the blood covenant
Christ died for you, you don't even knowHere we goMephibosheth
Blood covenant, yeah
