David and Goliath; A familiar Bible story
But most Sunday school lessons still apply it poorly
What's the way that most preachers and teachers apply this?
"David's our example! When he defeated Goliath
And by faith in God, we can beat all our giants
Like our fears or anxieties that's inside us."
But that would be "Amen-ed" in a synagogue
So in this song I'mma show you it's about the Son of God!
It's better than a moralistic application
Turn to 1 Samuel, the 16th chapter's blatant
"Mashach", the Hebrew verb: "Annoint"'s attached to David
He's the shepherd-king fightin' on behalf 'his nation
So where can you and I find ourselves in the story?
Surely we're the fearful Israelites on the sidelines
By Goliath, we'll be stomped to the dust
In God, we have trust
Sin, death and Satan's stronger than us
But Yahweh's chosen One from the town of Bethlehem
The Spirit rests on him. He's empowered now to represent
The shepherd of the sheep represents his peeps
So his victory's their victory if by death he does defeat
David's whole life's a pattern in a pedigree
From his greatest son, the last Adam, his descendent, the
Holy Spirit came upon Him after He descended, He
Departed to the wilderness to battle with the enemy!
Is David & Goliath about facing your giants
Or about the Son of David Who was slaying the tyrant?
Over Satan, He triumphed when He suffered and bled
Our representative King was crushin' his head!
Is David & Goliath about facing your giants
Or about the Son of David Who was slaying the tyrant?
Over Satan He triumphed. He got up from the dead
The main point of the story: He was crushin' in his head!
Now let's put our eyes on Goliath
Whom 1 Samuel 17: 5 is describing
And yo: this giant's worser than a cannibal
Cuz Goliath is described as a serpent and an animal
In the Hebrew text, let us note detail
Cuz though they're great, here our English Bibles only fail
By translating his armor as "a coat of mail"
But the Hebrew clearly says that he's "clothed in scales"!
You'll appreciate this:
That the word "qasqasim" is only found a few other places
It's used to describe fish, so this should stretch your mind:
It's used of Pharaoh, the dragon. Ezekiel 29
And "drakon"'s used 12 times in Revelation
In the text for Satan. Now listen to the rest of David:
36, he's comparing this giant;
He'll be just as a struck down bear or a lion!
So, is this bizarre? Goliath asks: "Am I a dog?"
Well, the answer is: "Yes you are!"
Cuz the Gentiles are so sinfully flawed
They more resemble a dog than the image of God
Before the Adam-king in the image of Jehovah
The beasts are those He's given to have dominion over
Yet Goliath takes after his fake god
Cuz he's about to be beheaded like the statue of Dagon!

The main point of the story: He was crushin' his head!
He wasn't circumcised, think of them as one of Satan's children
Forty-nine. Focus on the way that David killed him
By the humble slingshot, the stone's crushed in his head
On behalf of Israel, David won them instead
"Wait. Let me comment. What's with all this head-crushin'?"
Umm, the crushing of the Serpent shoulda already said somethin'
Genesis 3: 15. This verse is read:
"THE OFFSPRING OF THE WOMAN WILL CRUSH THE SERPENT'S HEAD"
The Gospel was foretold then
Behold: In David & Goliath, His promise is unfoldin'
A vivid illustration of how Jesus began
To kill this filthy Satan at the wilderness temptation
If with my words you wrestle, this verse will settle:
"THE SON OF GOD APPEARED TO DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL."
Like sin's enslavement and attacks of accusation
And power over death; These are the acts of Satan
So on our behalf, Christ took the wrath to save men
And crush his head, it's comin' back; It's the decapitation
From the dead, He rose for the sheep. He's the Psalm 8
Daniel 7: Son of Man, ruling over the beasts
A lethal death puncture. The Head Crusher goes for
The giant's weapon to behead him with his own sword
Like how the cross was Satan's trick
But his own deeds literally came back on his head just like Haman's did
We were trapped in cells, but the giant crashed and fell
Christ alludes to our story in Matthew chapter 12
Since the strong man's bound; Christ already conquered him
Now in Kingdom missions, us Christians can be confident
Cuz when David disarmed him and he killed him
He was followed by the rest of the army of the kingdom
Romans 16's wonderfully deep. Christians!
"THE GOD OF PEACE WILL SOON CRUSH SATAN UNDER YOUR FEET!"

The Headcrusher (Come on) x5
The Headcrusher. The Son of David, Jesus Christ is the Headcrusher!
The Headcrusher (Come on) x5
The Headcrusher. Now in Christ, the Church of Jesus is the Headcrusher!
