From my body

After 2 Samuel7:1-17 

From my body 

will come 

the offspring 

who will lead

a kingdom.

His throne

will be set

forever.

He will be

disciplined, but

he will be loved 

always and forever. 

And through him,

my house will be 

established

forever and

all time. 

My throne

will last 

forever. And 

I know this

because he

has promised.
