I just posted another freebie download over on the Scripture to Music Collective site. This song is from 2 Samuel, and I'm really excited about this one! I can't remember writing a song in this story-telling style, using just one phrase to act as a chorus and give the song a cohesive feel. Maybe there is an official name for this type of song but, if there is, I don't know it. :)
Please let me know what you think! If you'd like to download it, just click the down arrow icon. You can also embed any of these songs or the whole set on your blog or website if you're feeling so inclined and generous.
Woman on the Roof (2 Samuel) by Caroline Cobb
The story of King David and Bathsheba from 2 Samuel chapters 11 and 12.
"In this song, the story found in 2 Samuel 11-12 is told from King David's perspective. Elsewhere in the Bible, King David is described as a 'man after God's own heart,' but here he falls far short of that description as his 'innocent' desire spirals into adultery, deceit, and finally murder. But when the prophet opens David's eyes to his horrid sins, he repents. Although this story is full of the ugliest sins and the terrible consequences of sin, God redeems it and makes it part of the greater Story (see Matthew 1:6 in the context of Matthew 1). I love how He does that." - Caroline
