A Tale Of Old by devimcy: 2:23pm On Jun 11, 2009
Men Of David

my heart is enslaved by thought of old
in ancient Israel it has found a tale yet untold
in the manner i am going to declare it on this mountain full of cold

sail oh sail
sheep of great warriors in Israel
for the cedars are at your mercy
fig trees bow on seeing you
the archers are at your might
the king's enemies tremble at your presence
great n valiant men of battle are you oh! mighty men of David

let defend the city of our God
n the habitation of our people
you chorus on your way to battle field
behold the terrible works wroth by your hands in battle
n how quick you waxed great in the midstĀ  of your foes

I'll sing a song of old
a song about a tale untold
yea! that, i will do in this mountain full of cold

talk about David
n you will talk about Adino the Ezrite
chief among the captains
champion of champions i call him
who lifted up his spear in battle
n it claim the lives of eight hundred enemies

talk about David
n you will talk about Eleazar the son of Dodo
who smote the Philistines
until his hand was weary n cleave to the sword

talk about David
n you will talk bout Agee the Hararite
who stood firm alone
when the whole of Israel ran away from the philistine
he stood in the midst of ground n defendended it
with heads of hundreds of philistine on the floor

talk about David
n you will talk about the three mighty men
they broke through the host of philistines
to get water out of the well of Bethlehem
when the king was thirsty
the king heard of it n marvel

Abishai the son of zeruiah
is one of the three mighty men
he is was a force to reckon in battle
stronger than the bulls of Mexico is my brother Abishai
at a time in battle, he lifts up his spear n it claim three hundred lives

Benaiah theson of Jehoida
is one the three mighty men
He slew two lion likemen of moab
also with his hands he slew a lion
with a stick only he fought an Egyptian
who had a heavy spear
n with the spear of the Egyptian he slew the Egyptian


talk about David
n you will talk about Elhanam the son of Jair
who slew Lah'mi the brother of Goliath

talk about David
n you will talk about Jonathan the son of
David brother Shimea
he stood against a man of great stature
a man whose fingers and toes were four n twenty

talk about David
n you will talk about Joab the son of Zeruiah
who went up to Jerusalem n smote the jebusite
so as to pave way for king David into Jerusalem
this singular act made joab the captain of the host of Israel

talk about David
n you will talk about all those men
whose name are written in the book of second chronicle 11;26-47
this heroes are the ssecretbehind the victories of King David of old

oh! my lips must tell this tale of old
i will buy it n not have it sold
for in my quest for greatness it has made me bold
