David And Goliath
David was advised by his kin
the sling's the thing
if you want to win
tho' small as he was
without fear
he did let fly
and rocked Goliath's world
right between the eyes
before he had time
to come near
or even throw his spear
alone from afar David did fling
and with a single stone's throw
he let go one shot to the head
and brought the

With just a stone
Goliath was a big threat to Israel
A giant with intimidating records
Of military prowess which turned Israelite soldiers
To a bunch of faithless cowards
And to an army of lily livered derelicts
As they capitulated in fear
And let the sleeping dog lie
While Goliath had his fill
Threatening God’s own army
But it took a lively faith and

David & Goliath
And it came to pass that Philistia
and Israel waged war between them in
the Valley of Elah where a compromise
was agreed to, (one on one) with the spoils of war
forfeit to the victorious.
And so, Saul asked, “How many behind me?”
And his Captain replied,
“With the Lord on our side,
there’s no need to count,
but there is

King David the Giant Killer
He gathered five stones for the fight of his life
only needed one the right one to win
He was a shepherd anointed to be king
young and handsome against Goliath a giant
arrogant and loud he spoke with so much venom
in despair everyone ran away as faith hid behind fear
friends and foe alike took one look at David

Beloved David
From the beloved king and harp player
Whose name reigns as the ancient sword
That slayed the head of Goliath
This name is sung across the wide world
A Hebrew jewel, the cornerstone of Europe
A crown of nobility and sword of the underdog
King of the small kingdom that would birth the sun
Writer of psalms guided by wisdom

Underdog Alleluia
Underdog Alleluia
By Mark D. Stucky
Why do we love underdogs?
Why root for ragtag Rockies
and scruffy low-rated teams
coming from behind to win?
Why adore unlikely triumphs
against impossible odds?
Our culture can still remember
underdog-filled Bible stories,
from David and Goliath’s battle
to the meek inheriting the earth.
And America was once an underdog,
rebelling against earth’s mightiest empire.
Although Britain wielded superpower might,
and colonists fielded

David and Goliath
I stood before the behemoth,
(aware of my dimension)
and cast my eye upon his intention
and feared not, for the Lord is my protection.

David and Goliath
It seems appropriate that our children visited Michelangelo’s marble statue of David yesterday…(from the hotel where they’re staying…David was just a stone’s throw away.)
Everything the Israelites had…the philistines wanted to obtain…it’s a lot like what is happening today…With Russia and Ukraine.
But they fought their war a little differently back then…if we are to believe the

Imagine my surprise,
When David killed the bear!
I couldn't believe my eyes,
When the lion lay there!
Little did I know then,
God trained him for a fight.
A fight he could not win,
Fighting the Giant's fight.
Sent to the battle line,
His brothers' to report.
He heard the troll's malign,
And purposed to retort.
He'll fight God's way today,
His honor to uphold,
Running into

The Philistine Troops Gathered Up For War
The Philistine troops gathered up for war,
Between Azekah and Socoh amassed.
Israel encamped near in Elah vale
And drew a line against the number vast.
There Saul, upon one mountain, made a stand,
To face the other tribe across the way,
The vale between expecting blood-soaked sand,
The dogs of war yet leashed, restrained, at bay.
Philistia put forth their champion:
Goliath, giant

Lilith Down
When Bayt lahm guttured Bait lehem,
no bagels and baguettes are baked.
As hummus and labneh melting down,
prickly grapes grown in Golan Heights,
Awakened Elchanan terminated Goliath.
Raising Rachel tribes of nomadic life,
goes to a mysterious hypogeum.
The underground chamber,
forefather of Hebron and Nablus.
