Timothy Brindle
Headcrusher
[Verse 1]
David and Goliath a familiar Bible story
But most Sunday school lessons still apply it poorly
What's the way that most preachers and teachers apply this?
David's our example when he defeated Goliath
And by faith in God we can beat all our giants
Like our fears or anxieties that's inside us
So that would be amen-ed in a synagogue
So in this song I'ma show you it's about the Son of God
It's better than a moralistic application
Turn to 1 Samuel the 16th chapter's blatant
(mashach) the Hebrew verb (anoint)'s attached to David
He's the shepherd-king fighting on behalf his nation
So where can you and I find ourselves in the story
Surely we're the fearful Israelites on the sidelines
Who by Goliath would be stomped to the dust
Though in God we have trust
Sin
Death and Satan's stronger than us
But Yahweh's chosen One from the town of Bethlehem
The Spirit rests on Him
He's empowered now to represent
The Shepherd of the sheep represents His peeps
So His victory's their victory if by death He does defeat
David's whole life's a pattern and a pedigree
For his greater Son the last Adam his descendant the
Holy Spirit came upon Him after He descended He
Departed to the wilderness to battle with the enemy
[Hook]
Is David and Goliath about facing your giants or about the Son of David who was slaying the tyrant?
Over Satan He triumphed when He suffered and bled
Our representative King was crushing his head
Is David and Goliath about facing your giants or about the Son of David who was slaying the tyrant?
Over Satan He triumphed
He got up from the dead
The main point of the story
He was crushing his head
[Verse 2]
Now let's put our eyes on Goliath whom 1 Samuel 17:5 is describing
And yo this giant's worser than a cannibal
Cause Goliath is described as a serpent and an animal
In the Hebrew text let us note detail
Cause though they're great
Here our English Bibles only fail
By translating his armor as a coat of mail
But the Hebrew clearly says that he's clothed in scales
You'll appreciate this
That the word (qasqasim) is only found a few other places
It's used to describe fish so this should stretch your mind
It's used of Pharaoh the dragon Ezekiel 29
And (drakon)'s used twelve times in Revelation in the text for Satan now listen to the rest of David
Verse 36 he's comparing this giant
He'll be just as a struck down bear or a lion
So is this bizarre?
Goliath asked (am I a dog?)
Well the answer is: yes you are
Cause the Gentiles are so sinfully flawed
They more resemble a dog than the image of God
But for the Adam-King in the image of Jehovah
The beasts are those he's given to have dominion over
Yet Goliath takes after his fake god
Cause he's about to be beheaded like the statue of Dagon
[Verse 3]
The uncircumcised snake and villian's one of Satan's children
Verse 49 focus on the way that David killed him
By the humble slingshot the stone's crushing his head
On behalf of Israel David won in their stead
Wait let me come in what's with all this head crushing?
The crushing of the serpent should already said something
Genesis 3:15 this verse is read
The Offspring of the woman will crush the serpent's head
Though the Gospel was foretold then
Behold in David and Goliath this promise is unfolding
A vivid illustration of how Jesus began to kill this filthy Satan at the wilderness temptation
If with my words you wrestle
This verse will settle
The Son of God appeared to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8)
Like sin's enslavement and attacks of accusation and power over death
These are the acts of Satan
So on our behalf Christ took the wrath to save men
That crushed his head
His coming back is the decapitation
From the dead He rose for the sheep
He's the Psalm 8
Daniel 7
Son of Man ruling over the beasts
A lethal dent-puncture
The Head-Crusher goes for the giant's weapon to behead him with his own sword
Like how the cross was Satan's trick
But his own deeds literally came back on his head just like Haman's did
We were trapped ourselves but the giant crashed and fell
Christ alludes to our story in Matthew chapter 12
Since the strong man's bound Christ already conquered him
Now in kingdom missions us Christians can be confident
Cause when David disarmed him and he killed him
He was followed by the rest of the army of the kingdom
Romans 16's wonderfully deep
Christians the God of Peace will soon crush Satan under your feet (Romans 16:20)
[Outro]
The Headcrusher (come on) (X6)
The Son of David Jesus Christ is the Headcrusher
The Headcrusher (come on) (X6)
Now in Christ the Church of Jesus is the Headcrusher
