New battle lines
form the philistines
to one hill
and the Israelite's
to the other
standing up
the ground shook
beneath Goliath's outcry
"Come on down
ya men of God,
chose a man
to fight me.
If he slays me
my people
will be yours
but if I kill him
you'll be ours."
For forty days
the giant jeer
and flooded
the Israelite's
in fear.
Than David
reach camp
with provisions
for the men
greeting his brothers
Goliath step out again
slurring such filth
it made David rage inside
he asked a man
near by
"Who is he
that defies the armies
of the living God!
What will be done
for the man
who kills this disgrace?"
"The king will give
great wealth
to the man
along with his
daughter as a bride."
What David said
was overheard
and reported
to Saul who
sent for him.
David said
to Saul
"Let no one
lose heart
on my account.
your servant will fight
this philistine."
"You cant go out
against him.
You're only a boy.
Hes been fighting
men since his youth."
"As I've been keeping
my fathers sheep.
a lion prowl
near the herd
pouncing,
it jaws nab one
but I struck it down.
I even face
a bear
who turned on me
I seized it by the hair
and it fell.
This philistine
will be no different
he's defied
the army
of the living God.
The Lord will
deliver him to me."
"Go," Saul said.
"The Lord be
with you."
David took his staff
in hand chose
five smooth stones
from a nearby stream
put them in a pouch
and with his sling
in hand approach
the giant
"Watch out,
Goliath's coming down!"
The men shriek.
He look David over.
"Am I a dog
that ya come
at me with sticks.
Come here boy
I'll give you're flesh
to the birds!"
"You come
against me
with sword
and spear,"
David said.
"But I come
against you
in the name
of the Lord."
David ran
to meet him
stone in hand
he went swinging,
the stone
sunk Goliath's forehead
crashing face down
on the ground
the philistines
saw their champion
die.
They turn tail
the men of Israel
chase em
in hot pursuit
strewing their carcasses
along the way
David took a sword
cut off Goliath's head
and brought it
to Jerusalem
