God Only Needed Three Hundred

Judges

The Book of Judges God needed only 300 Seven years the Midianites stripped the land Israel crying out with empty hands A man at the winepress hiding from the sword When fire fell from heaven, and he heard the Lord Mighty warrior, the Lord of hosts is here Gideon said, how can this be? I tremble with fear But the offering burned, and the angel disappeared And the God of Abraham made his purpose clear Three hundred men against a host like the sand of the sea Not by sword, but by the hand of the Lord came the victory Trumpets in hand, clay jars holding fire in the night God alone brought the battle and God owns the light The fleece was soaked and the ground around was dry God reversed it and no man could deny 32,000 answered Gideon's call The Lord said that is too many for my glory to fall Three hundred lapped the water and remained The rest went home and three hundred were retained No spear, no shield, just a torch and a horn By the weakness of men the enemy was torn Three hundred men against a host like the sand of the sea Not by sword, but by the hand of the Lord came the victory Trumpets in hand, clay jaws holding fire in the night God alone brought the battle, and God owns the love Outside the camp, in the dark of the night Gideon heard a Midianite dream of his flight He bowed his face to the ground and he worshipped the Lord Then rose and said, watch me and follow the word When the trumpets sound break the jar, let it fall Let the fire of God rise and answer the call Not Gideon's name, but the Lord shall be praised Three hundred men and the Almighty amaze Three hundred men surrounded the valley at the dead of midnight God alone shattered the darkness and flooded it with light Rise up and shout, a sword for the Lord, let his enemies flee. Three hundred men, and the glory belongs to the Almighty. Thank you.
