LENT SWITH TALLIS ‘ CANON DAY 17: King David’s Lust For Bathsheba

                                                


Here is the Lent - Day 17 prayer verse

King David’s lust for Bathsheba

should warn us just how flawed we are . 

My base desires too easily

can take such deadly hold on me.

 

 

Refrain

Father forgive, forgive

Father forgive

Father forgive, forgive

Father forgive


Can be sung to Tallis’ Canon with the refrain - see posting for Ash Wednesday which can be found HERE 

The Story of David and his tragic desire for Bathsheba can be found in the Old Testament, The Second Book of Samuel, Ch 11 v 2 - Ch 12 v 19
