There was a giant of the philistine nation (nation) A mighty warrior standing ten feet tall He shouted boastings that no Israelite could beat him He was ungodly and as mean as his sin A boy named David stepped up to the situation Goliath's threats became a godly call He chose some stones, and with God's force he started slingin' He knew by faith the victory he would win Chorus: He was a man after God's own heart He had a faith that set him apart He showed commitment right from the start He was a, he was a, he was a man after God's own heart There was a king of the Israelite nation Tall, dark and handsome, rich - his name was Saul Lost his anointing due to sin's impatience He disobeyed the Lord and next was his fall The Lord called David to the situation He was a young man, but he heard God's call He'd be anointed, he'd be Saul's replacement To lead God's nation, holy chosen of all Repeat Chorus He was a man after God's own heart Repeat Chorus Israel surrounded by the heathen nation Edom and Moab and the Philistines Their bloody swords dripping annihilation Numbers and powers seemed they had it all David the man of God addressed the situation (he prayed) Gave thanks and praised the Lord all powerful He stressed his faith among the congregation Wherever David went the Lord helped him win Repeat Chorus (x2) Man after God's own heart (he was a man) He was a man after God's own heart (he was a man, he was a man, he was a man) The Lord is my Shephard, I shall not want (man after God's own heart)
