In the valley of Elah armies ready for war
Israelites and Philistines both knew the score
Goliath the giant towering tall
Calling out to Israel "Who's got the gall
Send me a man let's fight settle the score
If he can beat me we'll be yours forevermore
Israel shook fear in every heart
No one dared to face no one played the part
But young David a shepherd with faith so grand
Stepped up with a sling God's power in his hand
Who's this Philistine defying the divine
With the Lord by my side victory is mine
King Saul said "You're too young too weak
But David spoke confidence unique
I've faced lions and bears God kept me alive
This giant's no different with Him I thrive
Saul's armor too heavy couldn't fit right
David grabbed his sling stepped into the fight
Five smooth stones from the brook he chose
With his sling in hand the battle arose
Goliath scoffed "Am I a dog you come with sticks
David fired back "Watch God do His tricks
You come with weapons I come with the Lord
Today you'll fall by His mighty word
God will deliver you into my hand
I'll strike you down all will understand
There's a God in Israel who reigns supreme
This battle's His more than it may seem
Goliath charged David ran to meet
A stone flew swift Goliath's defeat
The stone struck deep giant hit the ground
David stood over him took his crown
Sword in hand cut off his head
Philistines fled their terror spread
Israel chased victory won
A shepherd's faith God's will done
David brought the head to Jerusalem's gate
A sign of God's power a hero's fate
From shepherd to warrior God's chosen son
David's story had just begun
Through trials and triumphs his faith shone bright
A king in the making led by God's light
Face your giants never back down
With faith in the Lord wear your crown
For God is with you in every fight
His power and glory your guiding light
David's triumph a legend of old
From humble beginnings to a warrior bold
In the valley of Elah history was made
God's power through David forever displayed
