With size and strength
power and might
huffin' and puffin
an unholy sight
with gruff, tough,
grit and growl
puts a chill in my bones
with his angry scowl
a hardened heart
bent on hate
sword in hand
to seal my fate
but as sure as the size of this beast demands
I stand by faith
sling in hand
Holy Armour at my command
Destiny calls
I have no fear
scooping up my stone,
I meet his stare
looking past the giant, into the sun,
I see the unseen-
the victory won.
by faith I live
by the God he defies
so I send that stone straight through the sky
hitting him square above the eyes
he falls dead weight, into the ground
dust rises high
as the giant goes down
I know full well
the one I trust
against His name
Goliath cussed
when he stood before me
he didn't see
my shield and strength
In whom comes victory
the God I defend
is the Mighty One
in him I depend
The One and Only Son.

What Goliath comes your way today?
"All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”
1 Samuel 17:47
But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:57
Oh so good, very good. Good for my heart today. Thank you!

Awesome poem, Dawn, and I really believe David had no fear. His righteous indignation to defend the name of the Lord fueled his action. If only we were as zealous to do the same!
