Across the Valley of Elah
Camped the mighty Philistines
their champion stood past nine feet tall
A decendent of the Nephalim
We were dismayed and terrified
He put us all to shame
He challenged us to combat
Goliath was his name
"I'll feed your flesh to the birds and beasts"
Was his final battle cry
But to fight him would be suicide
And I'm much too young to die
I cannot be less than courageous
With my fine forged fighting tools
I stood amongst great warriors
But none of us were fools
Chorus:
Show your mettle
Show what's in your heart
Show your mettle
A boy named David held a sling
And five smooth stones he found
He let one fly--it met its mark
And the giant hit the ground
The youth was now a champion
With his trust not put in men
Faith in the Almighty One
And Israel rules again
(Chorus)
