Watchful little shepherd boy
Sitting on a rock
overlooking pastures green
leading Father’s flock
Courageous little slingshot boy
Chasing down lost sheep
He strikes the lion and the bear
He loses none he keeps
Weeping little psalmist boy
Listen to him sing
Audience of God above
Anointed heir to king
Brave little letter boy
Doing what he’s told
But denies the so-called wise
who say wait till your old
Calm little soldier boy
wades into the stream
and casts off armor not his own
His faith in God unseen
Fearless little fighter boy
Surely flings his stone
And shames the prideful enemy
who mocks God’s holy throne
Hiding little outcast boy
Always on the run
And though unjust, in God he trusts
His promise not undone
Tenderhearted warrior king
Chosen from the start
Through cave and kingdom – always known
Man after God’s own heart
