[Verse 1] Jonathan's soul is knit with David's, and he loves him as himself. David succeeds in every assignment and gains favor with the people. Saul becomes angry and begins watching David with suspicion. Saul fears David because the LORD is with him. [Pre-Chorus] No crowd could see the faithfulness begun, But quiet mercy worked when day was done. [Chorus] Knit to the Soul of David, hold the promise near, Through the quiet road and changing year. A faithful heart kept walking without fame, And mercy wrote a future in the name. [Verse 2] Jonathan warns David that Saul has commanded his death. Jonathan persuades Saul to remember David's innocent service. After another victory Saul again throws a spear at David. David reaches Samuel at Naioth and reports Saul's pursuit. [Bridge] Saul himself prophesies and lies down before Samuel. David and Jonathan devise the new-moon test of Saul's intentions. Saul's rage at the feast confirms his determination to kill David. Jonathan signals with arrows, embraces David in grief. [Final Chorus] Knit to the Soul of David, hold the promise near, Through the quiet road and changing year. A faithful heart kept walking without fame, And mercy wrote a future through the name. [Outro] The years moved on, the faithful promise stayed. Mercy was larger than the quiet choice they made.
