The day had begun like any other day
The sun was quickly warming the air
A dust cloud was seen in the distance
Signaling that someone was coming there
Excitement was obvious in Jerusalem
The Ark Of The Covenant was coming home
No more would it be held captive
No more would it wander and roam
From distant Obed Edom, it had journeyed
The children of Israel were accompanying it
A place in the tabernacle had been prepared
A fitting place for it to reside and finally sit
As it drew near the music was heard
Cymbals, harps, horns, and tambourines
The trill of the Israeli women’s voices
Above the music was so sharply keen
But what caught everyone’s attention
Was the man who was bringing it here
In stark contrast to everyone else
He was nearly naked, yet had no fear
Before his God, the man vigorously danced
Leaping high into the air, he sang praises
Not caring about his physical appearance
Nor how many judgmental eyebrows it raises
King David was joyously worshipping the Lord
Humbling himself, he proudly led the way
Jerusalem’s tabernacle was prepared, ready
To receive the Ark that homecoming day
By debasing himself his God was pleased
The blessings to David, they overflowed
By honoring God with his ecstatic dance
His humility to Israel, he then showed
