Continuing the story of Samson and Delilah as told in the Book of Judges:

Samson (IX)
by Michael Romani

In the rocky passage of history
There are signs of Divine certainty
When God's voice has spoken clear
Stilling waters and calming fear

All broken vows apart
God knows the depths of man's heart
Samson would save his people
By strength of hand and faith of steeple

Samson, chosen of God, tribe of Dan
Was born to lead as just such a man
Set apart to fight for true freedom
Against the power of the Philistine kingdom

With donkey's jawbone
Samson slew his enemies alone
Finally taking his just stand
There to reclaim his ancestral land

A humbled servant bent in prayer
God's invincibility present there
One by one, Samson slew the enemy
In reliance on God, began his legacy

Mighty in his submission to one
Quenched by living water when he was done
Nazirite anointed to free his people
Through God's strength and words from steeple

The prince of Dagon felt this Godly power
There in the ripeness of his darkest hour
While Samson, as judge, protected his nation
To save his people from evil and devastation
