Giants Fell


There was none of the Anakim left in the land of the people of Israel. Only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod did some remain.
Joshua 11:22

When Israel spied on Canaan land
the sight of giants gave them fear
they failed to trust God’s loving hand
rejected the gift that was so near

Giants seemed undefeatable
imposing strength and towering size
the Israelites were just pitiful
“We are grasshoppers in their eyes.”

And so filled with giant fears
a generation was left to wander
the desert wastes for forty years
in unbelief to whine and ponder

Yet Joshua always trusted the Lord
never giving in to giant worry
he lived to see God fulfill His Word
when Canaan was conquered the giants scurried

Cities of giants before Israel fell
As God gave His people inheritance
eventually all ended quite well
no more fears of gargantuan pestilence

The God who fells giants, makes them run
is still here to help defeat fear
all foes have fallen to His Son
with the power of His Spirit always near
