Listen to the story of General Saul
Scared of Goliath, nine feet tall
The biggest man you'd ever seen
With a sword like a weaver's beam
Armies of the Lord he did defy
Listen to his battle cry
"Come on out and fight with me
And the loser shall the servant be"
David heard the scream of the Philistine
Said to his brothers, "Rise and shine"
But they said, "Go on home, my lad
Care for the sheep and stay with dad"
David told the general what he did
"When a lion stole a kid
And I know God will fight with me
Against this giant enemy"
David, lay down your harp
It isn't time to sing
David, lay down your harp
It's time to get your sling
Now you ain't out there tending sheep
And you won't sing this giant to sleep
So, David, lay down your harp
It's time to get your sling
David left the armor he had not tried
He knew the Lord was by his side
"You came to me with shield and sword
But I have got a mighty Lord"
David hurried down to the little brook
Just five stones was all he took
He prayed, "Dear Lord, I need You now
Guide this stone to the giant's brow"
Little did Goliath know he was doomed
He didn't see the rock that zoomed
But it went straight and it sank deep
And it gave that giant permanent sleep
David came a-runnin' so says the Lord
Cut off his head with his own sword
Now was the time to shout and sing
But God had helped him use the sling
David, lay down your harp
It isn't time to sing
David, lay down your harp
It's time to get your sling
Now you ain't out there tending sheep
And you won't sing this giant to sleep
So, David, lay down your harp
It's time to get your sling
David, lay down your harp
It isn't time to sing
David, lay down your harp
It's time to get your sling
Now you ain't out there tending sheep
And you won't sing this giant to sleep
So, David, lay down your harp
It's time to get your sling
It's time to, it's time to get your sling
