LYRICS:
Verse 1
I met Goliath on a day that I did not foresee
I’m not a soldier, never expected to be
But he shouts at my kin, and mocks them as he turns his back
It’s not so much glory as honor that drives me to act
Verse 2
The youngest of seven, no one ever was looking at me
Except the Almighty staring right through my chest cavity
The prophet man said God looked in my heart and saw a king
But I know my heart well, and I never quite like what I see
Chorus
And a crown is the last thing I ever thought would grace my brow
I didn’t want it back then and I’m not sure I want it now
I’ve got no need to follow, to follow the footsteps of kings
I just wanna tend pastures and kill giants with pebbles and slings.
Verse 3
Beauty on rooftops leads swift to the den of dead
The lust of my flesh numbs my heart numbs my soul numbs my head
The darkness is dancing I can feel his ear-to-ear grin
I’m sick and I’m twisted, against God alone have I sinned
Chorus
And a crown is the last thing I ever thought would grace my brow
I didn’t want it back then and I’m not sure I want it now
I’ve got no need to follow, to follow the footsteps of kings
I just wanna tend pastures and kill giants with pebbles and slings
End
I slew Goliath twenty years ago to the day
I can still hear his heartbeat just slowly slipping away
He was a monster, that much was easy to see
But it takes one to kill one, so what does that make me?

Love the song. I would add that all of us are “monsters” before our first believing Yes in Jesus. We no longer have that identity, but now the challenge is to receive & believe the new identity. My past & my inner thoughts tell me I’m bad & unlovable, but I hear Jesus whispering His delight & affection for me. I have a choice to which voice I will let define me: my “inner monster” or Jesus.
I love the song & how it shows David’s heart, but I want to see it in context of how Jesus changes our story.

I made the mistake of listening to this on my good headphones and now... wow, I can't move. You've echoed some of my thoughts about David and also introduced new reflections on his life. I'm even more astounded when I take this song and pair it with everything God said about David in His promises and His praises of David. Same Bible, same victories, same failures and yet David was still the man after God's heart with an eternal dynasty. Simply wonderful.

Your music is so incredibly moving. This one might be my favorite. 💗

[@joshualeventhal]

Thank you so much! This one is very special to me.

[@bglubish]

Powerful, Josh! That is some kind of serious songwriting there! I think you captured some of the pathos between the lines of Psalm 51.

[@allienotwithstanding]

I think David wouldn't have been able to actually kill Goliath without God intervening so I don't think that would make him a monster?
