BATTLE IS THE LORD'S

 

There were constant battles,

the Israelites were involved in.

Now there was another one,

that was about to begin.

Gideon's army was assembled,

all thirty-two thousand men.

But this was the Lord's battle,

for God to win.

God wanted Gideon's army,

to depend on him.

So the thirty-two thousand,

God had to trim.

Gideon followed God's instructions,

three hundred left for the war.

While the enemy had a total,

over one hundred thousand more.

The power of God was displayed,

with many enemies were slain. 

It was the Lord's victory,

a knowledge they gained.

It was a lesson,

they learned firsthand.

It's impossible for us,

but the Lord can.

GOD IS FOR US

 

For fear will flee,

because God is great.

The same goes for worry,

it will soon fade.

It's like the darkness,

can't overcome the light.

Our troubles have no chance,

with God's power and might.

When there's any problem,

we have to face.

We rely on God,

he has a plan in place.

God can do all things,

nothing can stop him.

So whatever God does,

soon we will see it.

We know our life,

is in God's hands.

He's Lord over everything,

so we'll be able to stand.

If we believe all this,

who can be against us?

When we already know,

God is for us.

WHEN LOVE IS THERE

 

We can do good works,

it is not enough.

Nor give all our money,

if we do not love.

Because without love,

we gain nothing at all.

We're just a resounding gong,

or a clanging cymbal.

When love is there,

there is no doubt.

Love is always kind,

it is not proud.

It's not self-seeking,

it does not envy.

Love always protects,

and it's always friendly.

We find love is patient,

it's not easily angered.

It keeps no record,

of anything done wrong.

Love never gives up,

it will always persevere.

That's when we know,

when love is there.

TEST OF OUR FAITH

 

There's so many bible stories,

I could tell you.

There's one about three men,

what they went through.

In the book of Daniel,

it's about Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.

The king issued a decree,

a test for the trio.

An image made of gold,

they refused to worship it.

They were found guilty,

death was imminent.

All three were thrown,

into a blazing furnace.

The fire took the lives,

of everyone else.

They were not harmed,

they walked out alive.

The king was amazed,

all three men survived.

We may never experience,

what they went through.

Our faith will be tested,

do we serve God too?
