In the Cave

Overcome by the people and cares o his lie,

David escaped to a place amiliar to him.

A place o reuge.

A place he spent many nights as a young shepherd boy.

Now as a battle-worn warrior, carrying the weight o anation

and only steps ahead o certain death, it would again be his

reuge.

He knew this place.

He had dreamed here. Seen visions here.

Here in the cave, he had written songs and poems,

poured out his own heart, and heard Gods voice.His courage, strength, and boldness were born here, to kill

the lion, the bear, and Goliath.

Only this time David would not be alone.

Other men came.

Tose who were in distress, in debt, and discontented gath-

ered around him in the cave.

Battle-proven warriors, now rejected and overcome with lie,they too were searching or a reuge.

A place where they could once again fnd their honor,

strength, warrior status, and bare their souls without

judgment.

Something happened in the cave;

or they were later reerred to as mighty men.Jake Jones

Mocked as I ell, broken man, with his bed in

hell.

Dug my own grave, I can hear all the voices say,

Hypocrite, O hypocrite. Lord please help.

The end o my rope, I have no other place to go.

Runaway, O runaway, Lord please help.

Runaway, O runaway, Lord please help me.

Mercy, Lord have mercy on me.


Cry out to You, I cry out to You. Lord please

help.

Cry out to You, I cry out to You. Lord pleasehelp, me.
