The Bigger They Are

The Bigger They Are, the Harder They Fall

(1 Samuel 17)

The Philistines stood on one mountain,
prepared to battle the Jews.
Israel stood on the other side,
deciding what they could use.

Goliath, the Philistine champion,
was in bronze from head to ankle.
He was 10-foot tall, and bulletproof,
and was set, the Jews to rankle!

He taunted, “Send a man from your ranks,
so that he may do battle with me.
We’ll serve you if he can kill me;
if he can’t, you’ll serve us, you see.”

David’s three eldest brothers
were in the camp, and scared.
His Dad sent him to take them food,
and to find out how they fared.

Goliath continued to taunt them
for forty days and nights.
He had the Jews just terrified
because of his great might.

David told Saul, “I’ll fight this man
for taunting the armies of God!”
Saul thought David was surely nuts,
but he merely gave him a nod.

Goliath said, “Nah, there ain’t no way!
You’re nothing but a mere lad!
I’ll serve your carcass to the birds,
you only THINK you’re bad!”

David told him, "You come all decked out,
but I come in the name of the Lord,
Who will deliver your life to me,
your head will be my reward!

Then David grabbed his sling and a rock,
and sunk it into the giant’s head.
Goliath fell face down upon the ground;
David had “shot” him quite dead!

And God’s army chased the Philistines,
then began to dance and sing!
And then they cheered the bravery of
God’s mighty warrior king!

So if Jehovah God is on your side,
you’ve nothing to fear at all.
For, you see, the bigger that they are,
the harder that they fall!
