Five Stones

“Five Stones” (David & Goliath)

Down in the valley where shadows grow long

A giant stood laughing, his voice like a song

Forty days taunting the armies of God

Till a shepherd boy came with a sling and a rod

Five stones in the water, one heart in the fight

The Lord is my armor, the Lord is my might

Steel may be sharper, the spear may be wide

But who can stand when the Lord’s on my side?

Goliath roared loud, “Send me a man”

But the boy only smiled with a sling in his hand

“You come with a sword, I come in His name

And today He will put all your boasting to shame”

Five stones in the water, one heart in the fight

The Lord is my armor, the Lord is my might

Steel may be sharper, the spear may be wide

But who can stand when the Lord’s on my side?

The stone took flight, the ground shook deep

The giant fell hard, like a tree in sleep

And the valley rang out with the victory cry

For the Lord had answered from the sky

Five stones in the water, one heart in the fight

The Lord is my armor, the Lord is my might

Steel may be sharper, the spear may be wide

But who can stand when the Lord’s on my side?

Down in the valley where shadows grow long

A shepherd boy walked, and the giant was gone
