    Samson was a warrior
    He killed a lion with his bare hands
    With only a donkey's jawbone
    He cut down 1000 men.
    He set fire to Philistine crops
    And burned their fields down.
    Vineyards, corn, and olive groves
    All burned to the ground.
    Philistines vowed revenge
    For all that he had done.
    They paid Delilah to find out
    How he got so strong.
    Out of love, he spilled the secret
    His strength came from his hair.
    With his head upon her lap while sleeping,
    she made a servant shave his head.
    When he awoke, he was still brave
    But was no longer strong.
    The Philistines gouged out his eyes
    And he became their slave.
    On the porch of Dagon's temple
    They dragged him to be mocked.
    But his hair grew long in prison
    And his strength was in those locks.
    Dear God, dear God, did Samson pray
    Make me strong enough
    To crash this heathen temple down.
    I have my chance today.
    He pushed against two pillars
    On his left and on his right.
    His prayer was answered, the temple crashed.
    He killed them all that night.
    From all our Bible heroes
    We learn the words to pray.
    Please, God, give me the strength
    To do what must be done today.
