| Lyrics: | Verse 1
David 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
oath.
CHORUS
Mephibosheth
Blood covenant
Verse 2
Jonathan 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
head
CHORUS
BRIDGE
The search went out for Mephibosheth
Caught,
imprisoned, cursing rebel
Brought before King David's throne
Thought that death was
imminent
David remembers the covenant oath
He'll show kindness to Jonathan's
house
Seen as now the son of the king
All that was Saul's would now be
his
Verse 3
You are Mephibosheth
David, symbolic of God
Your resisting His
throne
The blessing of the blood covenant
Christ died for you, you don't even
know
CHORUS |
