Mighty Man in the Winepress

Judges 6:1-40

[Verse 1] Midian came like locusts, stripping harvest, flock, and field, Israel hid in caves and dens with nothing left to shield. Gideon threshed his wheat in secret where the wine was meant to run, Then the angel called him mighty before any fight was won. [Pre-Chorus] Least within the weakest house, Still the word said, “Go in this strength.” [Chorus] Mighty man in the winepress, Rise from hiding, sound the horn. Tear the altar of Baal down, Let a faithful fire be born. The LORD will be with you, Though you tremble at the call. [Verse 2] Fire climbed from out the stone and took the meal he laid before, Peace was spoken to his terror, and he built an altar there. Under darkness he destroyed the grove his father's house had raised, Joash answered angry neighbors, “Let Baal defend his name.” [Bridge] Midian filled the valley, but the Spirit clothed the man, Abiezer heard the trumpet, messengers crossed the land. Dew upon the fleece alone, then dew on all the ground, Twice the sign met Gideon's weakness, twice the promise held him fast. [Final Chorus] Mighty man in the winepress, Rise from hiding, sound the horn. Tear the altar of Baal down, Let a faithful fire be born. The LORD will be with you, Though you tremble at the call. [Outro] He was still afraid, But he obeyed before the dawn.
