Lyrics to

Oh, How the Mighty are Fallen (2 Samuel 1:17-27)

Your glory, O Israel, is slain on a hill!
Oh, How the mighty have fallen!

Keep the news to yourself, of the blood that was spilled

Oh, How the mighty have fallen!

No field of offerings! no rain upon you
Oh, How the mighty have fallen!
Saul and Jonathan, beloved and true
Oh, How the mighty have fallen!

Chorus

They were swifter than eagles

and stronger than lions

Oh, how the mighty have fallen

Now the weapons of war, have all run their course

The song we are singing is solemn

Oh, how the mighty

Oh, how the mighty have fallen

vs3

“You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul,
who clothed you in scarlet aplenty,
who put ornaments of gold, with a heart so bold

But his sword did not return empty

The sun stood still, in the midst of the sky

Oh, How the mighty have fallen!

Jonathan my brother, how could you die

Oh, How the mighty have fallen!

Chorus

They were swifter than eagles

and stronger than the lions

Oh, how the mighty have fallen

Now the weapons of war, have all run their course

The song we are singing is solemn

Oh, how the mighty

Oh, how the mighty have fallen

Saul's pride begins to unravel him. Hard to imagine that are biggest enemy is often our own fearful heart. Chad beautifully explores this passasge and passes along some great wisdom and our need to trust the Son of David with our battles. Chris Lizotte and Marvelle Figueroa sing "My Jealous Fear".

My Jealous Fear

As my kingdom slips away

The prophets lips have spoken

Fear is taking over

And everything is broken

And I clench my fist in anger

I cannot hold the crown

Even in my greatest dreams

I keep losing the throne

Chorus:

“Saul has struck down his thousands

And we celebrate

But 10,000 are struck down by David

And His name is great

What more can he have,

What more can he have

but the kingdom

Now all I have left

Is my jealous fear

I looked for one just like me

Cried out for an earthly king

I was a fearful created being

When I rejected You

And Saul fell like Lucifer

But David rose like Christ

My true King and Warrior

The way, the truth the life

bridge

Let me serve only You

And see through Your eyes

By Your Word and Spirit

You can give me wisdom

To serve only You

In Your love and mercy

For every false way, every wrong turn, I’ve been following, I’ve been trying

Please forgive me, please forgive me

all I have left, all I have left, jealous fear

This week we revisit Psalm 8, meditate on the glory of God and give thanks for the wondrous things He alone has done. The gifted Izzi Ray sings "How Majestic is Your Name".
