I am not afraid of Goliath

I am not afraid of Goliath
by Joel Howard
a call to prayer

I feel myself pressing forward
While others fall, fall back
I feel myself full of bounty 
While others, bankrupt, claim lack
I feel my energy rising in me
While others, depressed, choose slack
I gather my stones, Goliath approach
While others teeth-chattering, fall back

I am not afraid of Goliath
Yay I prophecy to the nations
I am not afraid of Goliath
I join with all of creation
I am not afraid of you, giant
I let forth a trumpet call of jubilation
I am not afraid, not afraid of Goliath

I prophecy to the four winds
Return, return
I call a call unending
Return, return
Our Lord and Savior's coming
Return, return
All of us in the valley of decision
Return, return
Gather your sons and daughters
Return, return
Let the bride and groom leave their chamber
Return, return
Put on sackcloth and ashes
Return, return
This could be our ransom
Return, return
I prophecy in the heavens
Return, return
While the rage of mankind simmers
Return, return
All obstacles must bow low
Return, return
Make way for the King of glory
Return, return
Let the priests and elders weep now
Return, return
Its the Lord on High we seek
Return, return
We own our guilt and bow down
Return, return
We lay our every crown down
Return, return
Forgive us for hidden sins, God
Return, return
See our families weeping
Return, return
As we approach your altar
Return, return
Hear your sons and daughters
Return, return

This here battle won't wait, God
I prophecy, this is the day, God
We are no longer afraid, God
We rend our hearts and we stay here, God
Our hearts now long for the day!

David said, I am not afraid of Goliath
That giant, whose spit defied the King
In this generation, I am not afraid of Goliath
That same giant who defies now the ranks of the King

Make way
Make way
Make steady
Make steady
Make way
Make way
Get ready
Get ready for the King!
