“…and David sent someone to find out about her. The man said, “She is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam 
and the wife of Uriah the Hittite.” 2 Sam 11:3 NIV

David’s sins misinterpreted
The character of God.
For his sins towards Bathsheba
Dishonored his precious Lord.
But when the prophet, Nathan
Was called by God to give reproof,
David repented with deep sorrow;
His remorse no longer aloof.

God exalted David—
This one time shepherd boy;
Made him ruler over Israel ,
With a great army to deploy.
David surrendered to adultery;
Desired another man’s wife.
When she was found to be pregnant,
Sent her husband into his battle for life.

Uriah, Bathsheba’s husband
Was killed, as David had intended.
David greatly loved Bathsheba;
His palace to her he extended.
When David realized his sin,
Conveyed to him by Nathan,
He begged God’s forgiveness
For the sins of a complete pagan.

All sin misinterprets
The character of God above.
For his character is his law,
Based upon his awesome love.
So when we yield to temptation,
We glorify the evil one;
Misinterpret God’s character
And deny the great sacrifice of his Son.
