Your Jonathan, My David, a song

If you would be my David
Then I’d be your Jonathan:
I’d take off all the trappings
Of the glory I got on;
And I’d remove my armor
And I’d offer you my crown,
If you would be a David
To my lonely Jonathan.

And I would stand before you
Unclothed and unashamed
And I’d show you all my secrets
Just to hear you whispering my name
And if it meant I could no longer
Be my father’s son
Still I’d let you be my David
If I knew that I could be your Jonathan

      Cause there’s a friend who sticks closer
     Than any brother could
      There’s a water that is thicker
     Than the purest drop of blood
      There’s a love that is more wonderful
     Than any I have known
      So hold me to your heart my Holy David
      And I swear that I will be your Jonathan
      O I swear that I will be your Jonathan
      I swear that I will be…

And when the night is lonely
And the shadow’s running high
If I shot my bow into the dark
Would you swear to never leave my side
And when my journey stumbles
And I’ve fallen on my sword
If I swore to be your Jonathan
Would you swear with all your heart to be my Lord?

      Cause there’s a friend who sticks closer
     Than any brother could
      There’s a water that is thicker
     Than the purest drop of blood
      There’s a love that is more wonderful
     Than any I have known
      So hold me to your heart my Holy David
      And I swear that I will be your Jonathan
      O I swear that I will be your Jonathan
      I swear that I will be…
