Verse 1: (Saul’s Voice)
I never wanted the crown, never sought the throne,
But the people cried out, “We need a king of our own.”
Samuel warned ‘em, “Kings’ll take what’s yours,
Your sons, your daughters, and the best of your stores.”
But God told Samuel, “They’re not rejecting you,”
So he poured the oil, and my path was set anew.
Chorus (Samuel’s Voice):
When ambition knocks, don’t let pride decide,
Stick with the Lord, where the truth resides.
When ambition knocks, don’t lead with pride,
Make sure you’re walking on the Lord’s side.
Verse 2: (Saul’s Voice)
The sacrifice was waitin’, but Samuel wasn’t near,
The enemy was marchin’, and I was gripped with fear.
So I made the offering, without prophet or priest,
Samuel arrived, his heart heavy with grief.
He looked at me sadly, and said, “Your reign has ceased,
The kingdom’s crumblin’, your line won’t last,
You stepped where you shouldn’t, now your time has passed.”
Chorus (Samuel’s Voice):
When ambition knocks, don’t let pride decide,
Stick with the Lord, where the truth resides.
When ambition knocks, don’t lead with pride,
Make sure you’re walking on the Lord’s side.
Verse 3: (Saul’s Voice)
In the heat of battle, I made a rash vow,
Left my men hungry, couldn’t take it back now.
Jonathan, my son, found honey on the ground,
Didn’t hear my words, but the people gathered ’round.
They saw the truth, knew my vow was wrong,
But my pride held firm, couldn’t right the wrong.
Chorus (Samuel’s Voice):
When ambition knocks, don’t let pride decide,
Stick with the Lord, where the truth resides.
When ambition knocks, don’t lead with pride,
Make sure you’re walking on the Lord’s side.
Verse 4: (Saul’s Voice)
The last straw came with the sheep’s bleatin’ sound,
Samuel asked, “What’s this echoin’ around?”
God said, “Destroy,” but I kept the spoils in hand,
Spared Agag’s life, defied the command.
Samuel thundered, “Your kingdom’s no more,
You’ve disobeyed, now you’re shown the door.”
Chorus (Samuel’s Voice):
When ambition knocks, don’t let pride decide,
Stick with the Lord, where the truth resides.
When ambition knocks, don’t lead with pride,
Make sure you’re walking on the Lord’s side.
Outro (Samuel’s Voice):
So learn from Saul, wherever you stand,
In the halls of power, or the work of your hand.
The crown is heavy, the burden great,
Pride and disobedience will seal your fate.
