King David's Sin

If David had only gone to war
Him and Bathsheba would not displease the Lord
If we just stay where we're called
Then our purpose will make room for us

Tell me that You like what I've been doing
Tell me that my life has been improving
Tell me that I'm fit to start a movement
Tell me that I'm not just wishful thinking through it
And I know You are the God of no confusion
But You know it's been a lot of pick and choosing
No I haven't made the wisest of decisions
But I'm coming to You now because it's written
That I have, I have, I've got to be a better man
I Am, I Am, Jah Jah will take me there
If I just, I just, choose to trust in Him
But if I'm honest
My road been messy as messy gets
Messy as mental health unchecked
Messy as years of pain undressed
Messy as scared of influence but thrown into the lion's den
Said messy as David's sin or falling into Delilah's bed
Messy as get forgiveness but set for facing the consequence
Messy as can't understand why I'm fighting against my thought-filled head
Messy as more than conqueror but feel like I'm conquered still
Messy as told and shown, home-grown the vision but lack the confidence
Yes he as messy as messy gets
But he's blessed, thank Jesus

If David had only gone to war
Him and Bathsheba would not displease the Lord
If we just stay where we're called
Then our purpose will make room for us

If David had only gone to war
Him and Bathsheba would not displease the Lord
If we just stay where we're called
Then our purpose will make room for us

Say they want to know if God is really with him
Well I guess you'll feel the fruit inside the rhythm
And I guess you'll see the growth inside my spirit
And you'll hear them anecdotes from who I chilled with
I'm not really one to showboat about my business
But I'll show you where I stumbled with the quickness
I don't really care if you look at me different
Psalm 86:5 I am forgiven
1 John 1:9 I am forgiven
Colossians 1:13 I am forgiven
Ephesians 1:7 says I am forgiven
Guess I'll finally believe I am forgiven
Now it's time for me to extend forgiveness
Can't hold this poison in my system
Can't spread this evil to my children
Send love, joy, peace down to my kids them
Send love, joy, peace down to my kids them
I do this all for them
I sing to God confessions
Until my heart repents

If David had only gone to war
Him and Bathsheba would not displease the Lord
If we just stay where we're called
Then our purpose will make room for us

If David had only gone to war
Him and Bathsheba would not displease the Lord
If we just stay where we're called
Then our purpose will

We don't have to be perfect to come to God
We come to Him and He makes us better progressively
If we stay where we're called and stop comparing ourselves
But rather celebrate others
Our gifts and talents will inevitably make room for us
