Sling of David [Listen]

You say you know the story of the giant

that was killed by the little boy
But do you know exactly when and why Goliath fell
In his hand he held a warrior's spear

the shaft as large as I've ever seen
And before him stood a soldier's shield

about the size of a limousine
A javelin slung on his back
And from head to toe he was covered with brass
A mighty sword tied to his side
Yet he fell because he trusted in these things he held

within his own control
In his heart he wore a desire to be served
The giant had a childish desire to be served

So I sing this song to you
So I sing this song to me
What do you hold in your hand
Why do you do the things you do
So I sing this song to you
So I sing this song to me
What do you hold in your hand
Why to you trust the things you do
The things you own they don't belong to you
If you think they do they'll soon be owning you
If you're big enough you think you should be served
Then you're small enough to get what you deserve

You say you know the story of the child 

that killed that giant of a man
But do you know exactly when and why young David won
In his hand he held a shepherd's staff
that he used each day when he helped his dad
And the clothes he wore that battle day

were just everyday little boy clothes
On his side he tied a shepherd's bag

and then five smooth stones he placed inside
He threw one from a simple sling
David won because he trusted in the God

who was the Shepherd of his life
In his heart he had a desire to serve
The child had a giant desire to serve

So I sing this song to you
So I sing this song to me
What do you hold in your hand
Why to you do the things you do
So I sing this song to you
So I sing this song to me
What do you hold in your hand
Why to you trust the things you do
When the sling David became the sling of God
The giant fell
When the things of children become the things of God
Giants still fall today
May the things I have become the things of God
Like the sling of David became the sling of God

May my heart become His heart
May my ways become His ways
May my thoughts become the very thoughts of God
May my hands become His hands
May my feet become His feet
May everything I am
All I ever hope to be
Just like the sling of David became the sling of God
May the things I have become the things of God
May the child I am
May the man I am
May the child I am become the child of God

This is an example of how we are trying to present songs for children and their families...hoping that it is enjoyed by all ages. So here's hoping that this song will help you in the journey of under- standing we are just caretakers of the things that God gives us - and He is the rightful owner.

I Make A Choice  [Listen]

I make a choice
I make a choice
I make a choice
Every moment I make a choice
I make a choice
I make a choice
I make a choice
Every moment of everyday I have to make a choice

(I make a choice)
I can be nasty or I can be kind
(I make a choice)
Hug my sister or poke her in the eye
(I make a choice)
I can tell the truth or I can tell you a lie
Every moment I make a choice

(I make a choice)
I can ask for help or do it myself
(I make a choice)
Sneak a cookie or leave it on the shelf
(I make a choice)
Share my toys or just play by myself
Every moment of everyday I have to make a choice

I'm choosing every day
To be choosy about the choices made
To be choosing to choose the ways
So choices chosen will make God smile

I'm choosing every night
To be choosy and choose the choice that's right
so I'm choosing to choose the ways
So choices chosen will make God smile

I'm choosing every night
To be choosy and choose the choice that's right
So I'm choosing what brings delight to God
That's how I choose to choose
The choices that I choose

Every moment of everyday I have to make a choice
So I choose choices God would choose

(I make a choice)
I'll never give up 'til it's all complete
(I make a choice)
I'll help you get it done count on me
(I make a choice)
You need me over there then there I'll be
Every moment I make a choice
(I make a choice)
Do it right or wrong what will I choose
(I make a choice)
Is this the left or right or just the wrong shoe
(I make a choice)
So many choices what will I do
Every moment of everyday I have to make a choice

I'm choosing...

This song was fun to write. It's still fun to write. There were so many lyrics I could have put in this song to illustrate all the choices we have to make. And I keep coming up with new ones all the time. I chose these particular lyrics, because, well, I'm not sure why I chose these. I guess it was just time to choose some, so I chose these...
