“And he divided the 300 men into three companies and put trumpets into the hands of all of them and empty jars, with torches inside the jars. And he said to them, “Look at me, and do likewise. When I come to the outskirts of the camp, do as I do. When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp and shout, ‘For the Lord and for Gideon.'” Judges 7:16-18 ESV
From many only a few are chosen
So the heirs of the Great I Am
Faithful trumpeters smash their jars
The Light reveals the battle is ours
“A sword for the Lord and for Gideon”
Chaos reigned in the camp of Midian
The enemy vanquished, the army ran
So the darkness before the Son of Man
God uses broken jars of clay
To share the truth and light the way
His only Son sacrificed on a tree
Arose from the grave in victory
Sin and death defeated forevermore
Our blessed hope has won the war
In Jesus grace and peace are ever found
As we await the last trumpet sound!
