Mephibosheth (2 Samuel 9)

I was born condemned

For in my veins

Ran the blood of rebellion

Against the King who reigns

Awaiting my fate

And hiding in shame

Not seeking for mercy

The Kings evangelist came

His knock at the door

Brought fear to my heart

I knew I deserved it

I’d been lame from the start

Prostrate before Him

My head bowed low

I said, “Here is your servant!”

Expecting the blow

“Do not fear!”

Were the words of the King

You’ll eat at my table

Though nothing you bring

For there is one whom I loved

He stood between you and Me

For His sake I love you

As if you were He

Now Jerusalem is my home

With the King I dine

His table nourishing me

With His bread and wine

All praise to the King!

My lame feet remind

That I never sought Him,

It was me He did find.
