Gideon the Champion

Gideon was called by the Lord;
A champion with the Lord's sword.

Inspired by the Angel of the Lord thereafter;
Gideon built "The Lord is Peace" altar.

Gideon, not certain he was the best;
Was proved by God through the Fleece test.

Blowing of trumpets and breaking of jars;
The enemies defeat was near, not far.

With trumpets and torches in their hands;
Gideon's army shouted "A sword for the Lord;
And for Gideon."

The enemy cried out as they fled;
Killed by their own sword just as God said.

Gideon, The Champion who believed;
Is an Illustration of faith in God to Achieve.
