Deliverance

Middle of the war, two of us all alone
Neither commander nor troops aware
The one I serve says to me, “Let us go to these men, perhaps the Lord will work for us, nothing hinders the Lord from saving by many or by few.”
“Do all that is in your heart, I am with you heart and soul”
Is my reply.

Waiting for a sign from our Lord at the foot of the foe.
“Come up to us and we will show you a thing!” is their cry.
The Lord has delivered them into our hands.
Fatal blows one by one
First by Jonathan, then I
Into the hands of Israel they have fallen.

The king’s men come in after.
Victorious we emerge, thanks be to the God of Israel!

Fight for the heart of your king!
Not Saul nor David but the one who reigns in heaven.
The one who wins battles
Against the odds, he reigns.
Victorious He is, victorious He will ever be.
