Sound Familiar?

Sound Familiar?

Joel Howard

Misunderstood? Abused?

Sound familiar to you?

This horror he knew

As David wept

As David wept

Horror undeterred

Abandoned, runaway

Fugitive there

Despised, mistreated

Violently hated

David knew it all

As he ran from Saul

Sound familiar?

Too far to turn back

Abandoned, appointed

Chosen, shunned

Jesus is called David's Son

He's familiar

Sound familiar?

Too far from the battle lines

Where His victory

Outnumbered by ten times

The fearful king

The coward, too

Does this sound familiar to you?

Beaten, cast away

Love-hate are the ways

Leaders who can't live with

And can't live without you?

Sound familiar to you?

Sound familiar?

Sound familiar?

The pain emits a mellow sound

Inspiring cast-aways from all around

Who hope at hearing such a song

Familiar?

Sound familiar?

Emotional fluency

Unparalleled

The rain falls down

A million drops

He calls each one

Familiar with

Their number

He's familiar

Sound familiar?

The tears within this

Heart of mine

Are known to Him

My heart relies

On such a gospel

For all time

He's familiar

He's familiar!
Sound familiar?

I will share this gospel to

The fearful, broken, destitute

The naked, lost and needy, too

Until they are all familiar

And until we are all familiar

All familiar

All familiar

I hate the pain

I weep again

But thanks to pain

I see again

And am familiar

I am familiar
