| Bathsheba and David, Israel’s greatest king
|
| As king, he built the temple that God would not let his father build
|
| And in his reign he asked God for two things, wisdom and knowledge
|
| This is the song of Solomon
|
| The Lord appeared to Solomon
|
| And asked him in his dream
|
| Just what would you want
|
| If I would grant you anything
|
| King Solomon said to the Lord
|
| On riches I won’t dwell
|
| Just grant to me the wisdom Lord
|
| To lead Your people well
|
| When he woke the Lord had blessed
|
| The throne on which he sat
|
| And nobody ever caught him
|
| Sleepin' after that
|
| People heard about him
|
| And came from far and wide
|
| He’d lay his words of wisdom on
|
| And open up their eyes
|
| And didn’t Solomon have it all together?
|
| Didn’t Solomon lead his people well?
|
| Didn’t Solomon have all together?
|
| Don’t his words ring clearly as a bell?
|
| Two women came to Solomon
|
| Both had given birth
|
| I’m troubled though dear kindly king
|
| Please help me said the first
|
| One night while I lay sleeping
|
| This womans baby died
|
| She laid it’s body on my bosom
|
| Trading it for mine
|
| The other woman said to him
|
| That it was not true
|
| And Solomon said bring the child
|
| I’ll tell you what we’ll do
|
| We’ll divide him with a sword
|
| And half to each disperse
|
| The real mother cried, oh, no
|
| Just give the child to her
|
| And didn’t Solomon have it all together?
|
| Didn’t Solomon lead his people well?
|
| Didn’t Solomon have all together?
|
| Don’t his words ring clearly as a bell?
|
| Didn’t Solomon have it all together? |
