[Verse 1]
Stones in a shepherd’s hand
Dust on his feet from the desert sand
Every soldier shook in fear
But he knew the Lord was near
One voice across that field
One name
One faithful shield
He said
“You come with sword and spear
I come with the Lord right here”
[Pre-Chorus]
If he could stand when giants roared
What am I so frightened for?
[Chorus]
Like David in the valley
I will stand
With a shaking heart and steady hands
I will lift my eyes
I will raise my cry
For the Lord of Heaven fights beside me
I will take my place upon this line
With a battle song and borrowed might
I will take my sword
Face the fear before me
Knowing You are here
Like You were with David
[Verse 2]
Bills on the kitchen table
Bad news buzzing through the cable
Shadows creeping up my door
Feels like I can’t fight no more
But You whisper
“Child
Be strong
This is where your faith belongs
Grab My word like sharpened steel
Step up
I’ll be your shield”
[Pre-Chorus]
If he could run toward the roar
I can trust You even more
[Chorus]
Like David in the valley
I will stand
With a shaking heart and steady hands
I will lift my eyes
I will raise my cry
For the Lord of Heaven fights beside me
I will take my place upon this line
With a battle song and borrowed might
I will take my sword
Face the fear before me
Knowing You are here
Like You were with David
[Bridge]
When the giant’s laughing at my hope (hey!)
When the stories say I’m much too small
I will shout Your name across that field
You’re the strength that makes me fall then rise
When the armor doesn’t seem to fit
When the odds say I should just give in
I will grip Your promise like a blade
Run into the fight unafraid (unafraid)
[Chorus]
Like David in the valley
I will stand
With a shaking heart and steady hands
I will lift my eyes
I will raise my cry
For the Lord of Heaven fights beside me
I will take my place upon this line
With a battle song and borrowed might
I will take my sword
Face the fear before me
Knowing You are here
Like You were with David
[Outro]
Giants fall
Hearts awake
Every step in Jesus’ name
I will take my sword
I will fight this battle
Knowing You are here
Like You were with David
