Lyrics

[Verse 1] David made a covenant with Jonathan A promise of trust, the spilling of blood Slaughter the heifer, walk between the 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 now as 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]
