Only three hundred men were with Gideon that night,
And his enemies were the Midianites.
They were a host that filled the valley wide,
But Gideon had the Lord by his side!
“Do as I do!” Gideon called out,
And his three hundred men gave a roar and a shout!
Chorus 1
Gideon was brave ’cause he believed
That God had promised him victory.
Gideon was brave ’cause he was trusting the Lord,
And the winning of the victory was his reward.
Though they were few, though they were small,
They had the greatest power of all.
They were blowin’ on their trumpets.
They were breakin’ all their jars.
They held up their lanterns, and made the enemy run, run far away.
Chorus 1
Gideon was brave ’cause he believed
That God had promised him victory.
Gideon was brave ’cause he was trusting the Lord,
And the winning of the victory was his reward.
Chorus 2
Let’s be strong, and let’s believe
That God has promised us victory.
Let’s be brave, and let’s be trusting the Lord,
For the winning of the victory is our reward.
