The Story and The Song (5 of 11)
Series: Search for a King
Will McGee
Psalm 57; 1 Samuel 21-23
INTRODUCTION: When I was a teenager, one of my favorite shows was VH1 Storytellers.
- The artists would play their biggest songs, and tell the stories behind why they wrote them. I remember as a teenager watching Eric Clapton perform ''Tears in Heaven''
- Told the story of the song - Written about his 4-year old son who fell 53 stories to his death from their apartment on 57th street.
Time can bring you down / Time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart / Have you begging please
Begging please
Beyond the door / There's peace I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more / Tears in heaven
- You feel his angst in these words...
- The pain in that sobering acoustic guitar riff.
- Songs and stories complement one another.
We are studying the Life of David... We've seen already that he was a Warrior, and a king... But he was also a poet... A songwriter.
- Often his songs give us great insight into the type of man he was beyond the narratives that we read 1 and 2 Samuel.
Today... Psalm 57 is the song...1 Samuel 21-23 is the story behind the song.
In this song... And in this story... We learn.... How to worship God in the midst of overwhelming circumstances.
THE STORY (1 Samuel 21-23)
So, imagine... I'm David sitting on a stool... On a stage... In the round... With an old beatup Martin D-45 in my lap. As I look back on my life... ''Before I play you this next one, called Psalm 57... Let me tell you the story behind it.
- Of course, he says, ''You can read all about this in my biography. A guy named Samuel wrote it... it's called 1 Samuel... And this story starts in ch. 21.
You see? When I was a little teenager, this giant named Goliath came and started tormenting my country's military. Everyone was scared of him. No one wanted to fight him.
- So I did it. And I killed him.
- Overnight, I became a celebrity. People wrote so ...
