Walk Before Him in Integrity

1 Kings 9:1-28

[Verse 1] After the temple and palace are finished, God appears to Solomon again. Faithful walking like David will establish Solomon's throne. Twenty years of construction conclude the temple and royal house. Hiram finds the cities displeasing and names the region Cabul. [Pre-Chorus] The people drew near, but not by careless way, Holiness ordered every word and day. [Chorus] Walk Before Him in Integrity, keep the covenant in view, Every word and ordered service true. From altar, ark, and house the witness rose, The holy God alone the ending knows. [Verse 2] Solomon rebuilds Gezer, Beth-horon, Baalath, and Tadmor. Store cities and chariot cities strengthen the kingdom. Remaining Canaanite peoples are placed under bond service. Pharaoh's daughter moves from David's city into her completed house. [Bridge] A navy is built at Ezion-geber beside the Red Sea. Hiram sends experienced sailors to work with Solomon's servants. The fleet reaches Ophir and returns with four hundred twenty talents of gold. The kingdom's sacred, military, domestic, and commercial projects stand interconnected. [Final Chorus] Walk Before Him in Integrity, keep the covenant in view, Every word and ordered service true. From altar, ark, and house the witness rose, The holy God alone the witness shows. [Outro] The lamps burned low, the ordered service stayed. The covenant remembered every vow that had been made.
