    A Giant Defeated

     https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/a-giant-defeated-2
    Between the two, a valley lay
    Israelites and Philistines beckoning war
    Out of the camp of the Philistines
    A towering giant would arise
    Heavily clad, defiant and bold
    So to sway the staff of his spear
    A nation in fear, as was King Saul
    Forty days of terror
    Armies advancing in battle
    Yet to defeat
    As Israelites retreat in the sight of David
    Stood in dismay
    Honours and riches, marital reward
    To he who can defeat the giant
    A due attack with staff and sling
    No sword for him
    A trust in the God of the living
    A protective guide
    With fears aside, a stone was struck
    Of awesome power to the giant’s head
    Down to the ground, accomplished with sword
    An honourable defeat
    A nation at peace
