There was a boy so long ago
Who roamed the hills near Jericho
He had great skill with stone and sling,
Who thought he would become the king ?
But God’s true wisdom knew the best
That David would survive the test
And while exiled, in caves he hid
Saul wished him dead, of course he did !
He stayed the course, he ran the race
And triumphed over his disgrace
A feeling man both wise and good
With frailties that God understood !
