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.

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.

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?
