Deborah – Bible Heroine
Tune: Jesus Loves Me
Stories of the truly great,
In the Bible we are told,
Heroines and heroes too,
And their deeds both brave and bold.
Chorus:
Yes, they were all brave,
Yes, they were all brave,
Yes, they were all brave,
The Bible tells me so.
Deborah a woman judge,
Urged her army to its ranks,
When the battle they did win,
She wrote to God a song of thanks.
Gideon – This is the Way
Tune: Mulberry Bush
This is the way the fire came down,
Fire came down, fire came down.
This is the way the fire came down,
It burned the food on the rock.
This is the way Gideon wrung the wool,
wrung the wool, wrung the wool,
This is the way Gideon wrung the wool,
To get the water out.
This is the way Gideon played the trumpet,
played the trumpet, played the trumpet,
This is the way Gideon played the trumpet,
To give his soldiers a sign.
Gideon
Tune: Jesus Loves Me
Israel was a mighty group,
But they did not obey God.
God sent Midianites to punish them,
They stole their sheep and cattle, too.
Yes, God did love them.
Yes, God did love them.
Yes, God did love them.
That’s why he punished them.
Gideon was a mighty man.
He was one who obeyed God.
God said, “Gideon, tear idols down,”
And that’s just what Gideon did.
Yes, Gideon loved God.
Yes, Gideon loved God.
Yes, Gideon loved God.
That’s why he worshiped Him.

He was so very strong.

He got his strength from God.
