Lyrics
When You Fight the Giant
The Goliath Song
V 1: When I was little 'n didn't know it all,
I would go to my Daddy who was 10 feet tall
Who protected me like a daddy should...
Tried to teach me life from where he stood.
V 2: H'said the day would come in the great unknown,
I'd be out on my own but never alone.
Then he told me stories of those who stood
For God and His glory, and the stories were good!
Chorus: He said, "You might see Goliath when you're ... facing life,
But you're never gonna lose with Spirit inside,
'Cause the battle's God's, and He'll slay the giant.
You're not alone when you fight the giant."
V3: H'said, "You're not grown yet, but it won't be long,
So, stand up, child, like you're ten feet tall.
Whatever the problem, big or small,
Remember these words, 'cause they say it all!"
Chorus: Said, "You might see Goliath when you're facing life,
But you're never gonna lose with Spirit inside,
'Cause the battle's God's, and He'll slay the giant.
You're not alone .. when you fight the giant."
Bridge: The years have passed, and my daddy's gone,
But the story of Goliath has kept me strong.
Chorus: I might see Goliath when I'm facing life,
But I'm never gonna lose with Spirit inside,
'Cause the battle's God's, and He'll slay the giant.
Pass it on!
Chorus: Y'might see Goliath when you're facing life,
But you're never gonna fail with Spirit inside,
'Cause the battle's God's, and He'll slay the giant.
You're not alone......................... when you face the giant.
