David Learned to Play the Harp

David learned to play the harp;
Little did he know;
That one day God would use him to
Make a demon go.

With a note, note here,
And a chord, chord there,
Ev’rywhere, ev’ry day,
He would play a psalm, psalm.

David learned to play the harp,
pleasing his God so.

  1. Well done.

    My wife is wondering do you have a Christmas one?

    Thanks

    • Thanks for the encouraging feedback. I have not written any Christmas songs yet, but I have thought about doing so. Your comment encourages me to get to work to see what the Lord might give me about that subject. Thanks.
