Have Faith

A dreadful giant came from distant lands
To taunt the battle lines of Jacob's sons.
He held a shield and lance with mighty hands
And threatened death to God's appointed ones.
Despair had gripped the men who held the line;
Before them stood a foe of frightful might.
The soldiers failed to trust the One Divine,
The One whose hand would send their foes to flight.
A child then strode to meet the giant's dare,
But only with his faith and little stones.
He offered praise to God and said a prayer,
Then hurled a rock to break Goliath's bones.
 He flung a little stone with faith in God,
 The One whose arm arose to break the rod.
