Lyrics
Samuel: Vayomer Adonai: "Koom m'shacheihu ki-zeh hu"

Samuel and Men: And the Lord said to me this is he Thou shalt anoint him

Samuel: Vayomer Adonai: "Koom m'shacheihu ki-zeh hu"

Samuel and Chorus: Vayomer Adonai: "Koom m'shacheihu ki-zeh hu"

David: Could you explain what you've done? Oh, I know it's a serious thing

Samuel: Serious? Very. All in good time there'll be mountains to move There'll be battles to fight Bodies to bury

Don't hurry to change your life Stay on the hill and plain Turn to your flock again--back to the field God has a plan for you And I have some ideas too All in good time His word will be revealed

David: I'm taking it as it comes And watching it as it goes...

Samuel: Perfect.
