Mephibosheth — текст песни (mortification)

[Verse 1]
David made a covenant with Jonathan
A promise of trust, the spilling of blood
Slaughter the heifer, walk between two parts
Off with my head if I break the oath.

[CHORUS]
Mephibosheth
Blood covenant

[Verse 2]
Jonathan died in battle
David, ascend to the throne
Mephibosheth a cripple
Son of Jonathan lost
Left behind as they fled
Oath of death upon David`s head

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
The search went out for Mephibosheth
Caught, imprisoned, cursing rebel
Brought before King David`s throne
Thought that death was imminent
David remembers the covenant oath
He`ll show kindness to Jonathan`s house
Seen as now the son of the king
All that was Saul`s would now be his

[Verse 3]
You are Mephibosheth
David, symbolic of God
Your resisting His throne
The blessing of the blood covenant
Christ died for you, you don`t even know

[CHORUS]
