Mephiboseth Lyrics - 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
