David Had Rest from his Enemies
Children's Song Lyrics and Sound Clip
Bible Story Songs

1. David had rest (echo) from his enemies; (echo)
A cedar house (echo) and a life of ease. (echo)
David had rest from his enemies
A cedar house and a life of ease. (echo)

2. Call Nathan here; (echo) my plan present: (echo)
The ark of God, (echo) is in a tent! (echo)
Call Nathan here; my plan present:
The ark of God is in a tent! (echo)

3. All that is in (echo) your heart go do! (echo)
Build God a house; (echo) He is with you. (echo)
All that is in your heart go do!
Build God a house; He is with you. (echo)

4. But God said He (echo) didn’t ask for that; (echo)
Went about in a tent (echo) since Egypt. (echo)
But God said He didn’t ask for that;
Went about in a tent since Egypt. (echo)

5. A house for you (echo) God wants to build. (echo)
Just wait and see, (echo) that’s what He’s willed. (echo)
A house for you God wants to build.
Just wait and see, that’s what He’s willed. (echo)

(Can be sung to: Sippin’ Cider)
