DAVID COULDN'T FIGHT IN AN ARMOUR

 (Miracle Child)


They say you're slow and immobile

Tell them you're only sober

David couldn't fight in an armour 

But with a stone and sling 

He brought down a giant 

And with his sword took off his head!


Hailed on the shoulder of champions 

Praised by adoring maidens:

Tell them you're a miracle child 

That you may look dull and mild 

But your mind is a fire burning wild


For David couldn't fight in an armour 

But with a stone and sling 

And the Blessed Name of the Lord

He brought down a giant! 

(Oh, tell them, you're a miracle child!)

At times in life, we see people place pressure on us to act in a certain way and do things the way they're usually done. But those ways aren't usually for us, we have to find our path to solve certain issues. David couldn't move in an armour but used a sling and a stone to down a giant. May God give us the grace to stand firm in the conviction of what we believe. Amen.
