Mourning After

Posted by Reev On June - 21 - 2009

After 20 years of a mighty rule, King David falls into the trap of lust and taints his kingdom with blood. Bathsheba, his beautiful mistress, mourns her husband’s death while pregnant with a child destined to die. Disobedience, adultery, deception and ultimately murder. The second half of David’s monarchy is a life of strife and bloodshed.

Here’s an excerpt from my first musicale Shepherd King, The Story of David which you can preview here. The stageplay highlights significant events in the life of King David such as his anointing, heroism, fall into sin, dark family heritage and glorious kingdom.

Claude Villacorta as Bathsheba

We are privileged to have discovered a very talented stage actress (singer, model and dancer too!) in the form of Claude Villacorta who portrayed Bathsheba to perfection. Here she performs “Mourning After”, a sorrowful lament moments after her husband had been killed through an illicit affair with King David.

Mourning After

O why, my king
Why did thee allow
Please help me see
Past through it somehow
Why the man I held
Every morning in bed
Is now a breath away
Only mem’ries remain
I am broken

O why, my lord
Why must you take away
The man I swore
To cherish night and day
Was I powerless
In my heart lies unrest
Blame my foolish ways
For having put me to shame
Please forgive me

I find comfort in the arms of my king
Now that my mourning is over
I pray this union is blessing that brings
Peace to our home, a decent shelter
Please help me understand
The wisdom of your plan

Because my king
You are the chosen one
I won’t question why
My fate is in your hands
My king
