There is a story in a book,
That took place long ago.
It is a story ‘bout a boy,
And of a stone to throw.

It seems there were two armies and,
Their leaders squared to fight.
But one guy was so big and strong,
The others filled with fright.

The big guy was so big and fierce,
He taunted all the rest,
But then there came a boy with faith,
To meet this mighty test.

This faithful boy stepped forth alone,
And with his meager groan,
He whirled his slingshot over head,
Then loosed the tiny stone.

The boy had faith that God would help,
And with the stone he threw,
The giant’s day was ended and
His army beaten too.

There are so many things we learn,
From David and his stone.
From Him we learn that we can win,
Although we seem alone.

And when we’re on the side of right,
The Lord will see us through,
So when we fight for freedom’s cause,
He’ll help in what we do.
