David

The Shepherd King

"After Your Heart" by Chris Tomlin

(from "House Of David" soundtrack)

Got a harp in one hand and a sling in the other

For the battles I fight I fight with these

Got a flock on the hill, but the Lord is my Shepherd

And I have all I need

My life will tell the story of Your faithfulness

The highs, the lows, the fields, the thrones, how good You've been

Look how far we've come from watching sheep under the stars

After all this time I'm still after Your heart, I'm still after Your heart

After Your heart

Got a song in the storm, no fear in the valley

For I know the Lord will lead me through

Got a crown on my head and the keys to the kingdom

But I still bow to You

Oh, I still bow to You

My life will tell the story of Your faithfulness

The highs, the lows, the fields, the thrones, how good You've been

Look how far we've come from watching sheep under the stars

After all this time I'm still after Your heart, I'm still after Your heart

After Your heart

Surely Your goodness, surely Your grace will follow me all my days

Will follow me all my days

Surely Your mercy, surely Your name will follow me all my days

Follow me all my days

My life will tell the story of Your faithfulness

The highs, the lows, the fields, the thrones, how good You've been

Oh, look how far we've come from watching sheep under the stars

After all this time I'm still after Your heart

Look how far we've come from watching sheep under the stars

And after all this time I'm still after Your heart, I'm still after Your heart

After Your heart.

    good . please take a look at my profile

  • That’s a beautifully written song by Chris Tomlin, capturing a deep sense of devotion and gratitude. The lyrics reflect the journey of faith, from humble beginnings to great victories, yet remaining steadfast in pursuit of God's heart. The imagery of David—his harp, sling, and shepherding days—mirrors the Christian walk: trusting in God's guidance through life's highs and lows. Did these lyrics resonate with you in a special way?
