There’s a blasphemer in
the field –
A guy toting a
humongous shield.
He’s been shouting for
many days,
Striking terror in a
dozen ways.
He’s a giant, and nine feet
tall.
His armor – the stuff’s
a metal wall.
He calls for a man,
strong and brave
To come and fight, ‘til
they reach the grave.
In defiance, his words
ring out;
All Israel’s men buckle
and doubt.
None are willing to
take a stand.
The giant – he’ll take
over the land…
Unless, of course, a
boy comes by,
And hears the great
monster’s battle cry.
Unless, he rises up to
say,
“Who are you to defy
God this day?”
Unless he throws off
men’s armor,
And quits waiting for
men who are abler.
Unless he says, “I come
to you,
“With slings, stones,
and the Lord my God, who,
“Delivered me from
lion’s jaw,
“And rescued me from
the bear’s strong paw.”
Unless he says, “Let
none lose heart,
“I’ll take a stand, and
God will do His part.
“I am a servant of my
God,
“I’ll go lay the giant
in the sod.”
Unless the boy goes
unafraid,
To face the monster,
and his blade.
Unless he’ll go
uncompromised,
Unless he’s willing to
be despised.
Unless he’s ready to
believe,
That, yes, God always does
achieve.
Unless the shepherd boy
will cry:
“Let the world know: my
God is alive!
“You come to me with
your great sword,
“But, I come in the Name
of my Lord.
“This day, your head
He’ll give to me,
“And the God of battles
- men will see.”
Unless the boy tosses
his stone
And just takes his
stand all alone.
Only then, the giant
will fall,
Only then, will
Israel’s king call:
“Who’s boy is that, who
took a stand?
“Who is the one who
saved our land?”
“I am a son of Jesse,
sir,
“I fought the lion and
the bear.
“And God gave me this
Philistine,
“So you won’t forget
what you have seen.”
Whatever warrior you
face today,
The God of Battles has
a way.
Whatever giant stares
you down –
Just stand, and fight,
and gain a crown.
In Him, your victory is
secure.
Before Him, your crown and
life, pour.
