Goliath's Demise Lyrics


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 be fay 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 Israell 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

But 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
