THE VICTORY OF GIDEON'S ARMY (from R. Allison's tape)

The Lord spoke unto Gideon, before war with the Midianites. Gideon had too many men to take with him to fight. Israel should never boast that they could win on their own. Those who were fearful or afraid should leave from there and go home. Twenty-two-thousand would return, only ten-thousand remained But the Lord said to Gideon, still too many have stayed. He took them down to the water, where God could give them a test. Most didn't know the way to drink, so only three hundred were left. Gideon now had his army to battle the Midianites. 'Twas true that he'd save Israel, but not by their own might. Now he needed encouragement, because of how everything seemed, So God sent him down into the camp to hear what a Midian dreamed� �Gideon's army was like a barley loaf Gideons army was like a barley loaf And they rolled down the hill, into the enemy And so the Lord did win a mighty victory, A mighty victory Gideon said put a pitcher o'er your torch Gideon said put a trumpet in your hand And when I give the word, you'll blow your trumpets loud And break your pitchers so that your light shines all around Your light shines all around The enemy soldiers cried out and they fled Because the shouts of praise and light came overhead So with Gideon we see the Lord's special way to fight It's not with sticks or stones, But with your praise and light But with your praise and light But with your praise and light
