Five Smooth Stones

Lyrics

Written by Carl Hicks Jr. / SESAC

[Chorus – Full Choir, Tight Unison]
Five smooth stones
And a word from the Lord
Five smooth stones
He didn't need a sword

The giant stood tall
But faith stood taller
David came forward
In the name of the Father

Five smooth stones
And a sling in his hand
God used the smallest
To deliver the land

[Bridge – Warm Stacked Harmonies]
You come with armor
You come with pride
But I come believing
With God on my side

You trust in your weapons
You trust in your name
But the battle belongs
To the Ancient of Days

The battle is His
The victory is His
The battle is His
The victory is His

[Chorus – Choir Snaps, Unexpected Brass Hits]
Five smooth stones
And a word from the Lord
Five smooth stones
He didn't need a sword

One stone flying
One giant falling
When faith starts moving
Every fear stops talking

Five smooth stones
And a sling in his hand
God used the overlooked
To deliver the land

[Bridge – Rhythmic Choir Changes]
Too young
But chosen

Too small
But ready

No armor
Still steady

No title
Still called

No army
God was all

David ran forward
He didn't retreat
The giant met faith
And fell at his feet

[Repetitive Run – Deep Pocket Groove]
One stone
One stone
That was all it took

One word
One word
God had already spoke

No fear
No fear
David knew the name

The Lord of Hosts
Would win the day

Five stones
One sling

Five stones
One King

Five stones
One word

The whole camp heard

He fell
He fell
The giant fell

Faith rose up
And the giant fell

He fell
He fell
The giant fell

God gave David victory

[Choir Run – Tight Vocal Layers]
Not by size
Not by strength

Not by armor
Not by rank

By the name
By the word

By the God
That David served

Little became plenty
Weak became strong

God took one stone
And proved them wrong

[Outro – Smooth Choir Resolution]
The giant was loud
But God had spoken

The giant stood proud
But his power was broken

Five smooth stones
And faith in his hand

God used the smallest
To deliver the land

Five smooth stones
Five smooth stones

[Final Choir Hit]
The giant fell!
