Analysis of David and Goliath
Not The Mighty, Not The Spirit Of Humans, Only The Word of God Best Prevails..
Not The Spear, Not The Javelin Of Goliath, Only A Smooth Stone Of David Triumphed..
Though These Assertions Ball Up The Proud, The Almighty Allows It Of To The Simple Of Heart..
Not The Stature, Not The Countenance, The Lord Sees As Humans Do.
Not The Powerful, Not The Proud, The Lord Desires Though The Humans Fear About Them..
For The Hearts Of The Faithful And Courageous,
The Lord Sincerely Aches For..
Spear And Sword Are Intrinsic In The Greater Battles Fought In History, As Thought The The Champion Of Giants Goliath..
Sling And Stones Are Far Enough
To Smote And Blow Away A Wicked Like Goliath,
As Thought The Young Goatherd David..
To Dishearten And Cast Us Off, Humans Barge In..
No Need Of Host Of Mighty Giants On Our Back,
As Goliath The Mortal One Gathered..
The Nearer Side Of God And Tons Of Hope In Heart
Are Enough To Bawl Out Our Victory..
So, To Prevail And Win,
Always Cling To The
Lord Forever..
