Goliath's Demise

A warrior of mighty stature stood before them
Clad from head to toe in shining mail of bronze
Goliath was his name
He struck fear among the people
And day by day the giant taunted the soliders of the Lord
None had the courage to face this man on the battlefield
Save for a shepherd boy
His people called him David
He had slain a lion and a bear in his youthful age
He feared the Lord and he was strong in his faith
David answered the challenge of the mighty Phillistine
He wore no armor, nor did he bring shield or blade
But he approached the giant with nothing but sling and stones
Answered the call as men of Israel watched in fear
Lo!
Goliath mocked the boy as he approached
Am I a dog that you face me with stick?
The giant cursed the young boy by his pagan gods
And swore to feed his flesh to the hungry birds
You fight against me, with weapons wrought of iron
But I fight against you in the name of the Lord
Goliath rushed forth to slay the future king
And David showed no fear, but readied his sling
He launched a stone into the giant's forehead
It sank into his skull, and he crumpled dead
With his own sword, the giant's head was severed
And David held it high for every eye to see
All of Israel's foes fled the field of battle
And the camp of the enemy was plundered
Let those who mock God tremble in fear
None can stand against those who walk in faith
Let this be known to heathens far and wide
Our God is second to none
Second to none
