Clare Blume - Saul or David Lyrics

We can be like Saul
Or we can be like David
We live as kings, unto ourselves, or unto the Lord
God can use us before and after our falls
If we live, not unto ourselves, but unto the Lord
Saul was a man who was seen as grand
In the eyes of the natural man
David, on the other hand, was invisible to man
But was seen in the eyes of a supernatural God
Saul and David both started with the favor of God
He Himself declared that they were "kings"
They would rule and reign
Make decisions for men
But who recognized and obeyed the authority over "him"
Saul or David
Will you wait upon the Lord
Saul or David
Will you submit to the Spirit
Saul or David
Will you do it God's Way or your own
Saul or David
Which is stronger
Fear of God or Fear of Man
Saul or David
Is your heart longing for the praise of God
Saul or David
Or the praise of man
Saul or David
Is humility a desire over authority
Saul or David
A repentant heart or a hardened heart
Saul or David
Both would reap what they had sown
But David feared his God
He trusted in His words
He committed his future into God's hands
And his decisions were made for the praise of one
And the people didn't dictate his decisions
Both kings fell at one time into sin and condemnation
But how they handled it
Was what we must learn
Stubborn denial or a hardened heart leads to loss of our favor
Repentance means restoration and second chances.
Saul or David
Who will you be like
Saul or David
Saul or David
Will you recognize and obey the authority over you
