G"The battle's not mine," said little David,
"Lord, it's Thine; I'm in Your favor.
I've gCiven it all to You,
I knew not what to Gdo.
I'm so glad You let me see 
You're really all that I Emneed.
For the battle's not Cmine; I give it to DYou;
Lord, it's GThine."
GLittle David, oh, so small,
Goliath, oh, so tall,
The COdds were just too high, poor little GDavid.
GSo he shook off all of his load
For with the power of God he was Emclothed,
He said, "The battle's not Cmine; I give it to DYou; 
Lord, it's GThine." 
G"The battle's not mine," said little David,
"Lord, it's Thine; I'm in Your favor.
I've Cgiven it all to You,
I knew not what to Gdo.

For the battle's not Cmine; I give it to DYou;
Lord, it's GThine."

GNow little David, unafraid
Before the giant he stood that day
EveryCbody said it will be the end, for little GDavid.
Just like the lion and the bear he slew
Oh, Goliath shall come down Emtoo
For the battle's not Cmine; I give it to DYou;  
Lord, it's GThine.
G"The battle's not mine," said little David,
"Lord, it's Thine; I'm in Your favor.
I've Cgiven it all to You,

You're really all that I Emneed.
For the battle's not Cmine; I give it to DYou;
