God won’t let us sit in our caves, OR, come in with us.

King David’s Theme Song Series

based on 1 rating

We will look at King David’s Theme song. This song has extremely high praise of God and is filled with metaphors. Some of the metaphors describe God as, a Rock, a Fortress, deliverer, refuge, shield, salvation, strength and lamp.

If any of us sang Gilligan’s Island or Beverly Hillbillies, then the rest of us could sing along. Do you ...read more
