Giants

In life, there may be giants that 

You can’t seem to defeat.

It doesn’t matter what you do,

These giants can’t be beat.

The giant may be alcohol

That you just can’t put down.

Perhaps you just can’t find a job 

Though you’ve looked all ‘round town. 

The giants, yes, that some folks face,

A pile of bills may be.

The giant may be fear or doubt

Or just uncertainty.

The giants you are facing, yes, 

May all seem twelve feet tall.

You get discouraged easily

And you lose hope and fall. 

Each time you face a giant, yes 

There’s one thing you should do.

 Before you start the battle now 

Hear what I’m telling you.

Just pray for strength from God above. 

He’ll help you in your fight.

He’ll give you strength of many man.

You’ll overcome with might.

If you have doubts that this will work 

And you just don’t believe,

It worked for little David as

He killed Goliath, see.

If you believe that you will win 

And know God’s on your side, 

Then all the giants that you face 

Will run away and hide.

Try this, my friend, and you will see 

This always is the case.

Oh, with God’s help, you can defeat 

The giants that you face.
