Songs of David's Throne

David is in the field

His place is empty at the table

His friend must speak for him

His throne is eternal life

but it is cast down to the ground

for the sake of his dear ones

Nor will it be raised up again

until little children play upon it

eating freely of all the trees

of God’s garden there

as they play upon David’s throne

while he teaches 

the song of repentance

to their elders

the choir of David

which will sing

before all the nations

a song of songs to bring

all heaven and earth to tears
