Context: Gideon is confronted by the Angel, remains sceptical and despairing in the face of a miracle:
It’s OK for angels
To know what’s going on
But I find only darkness
Where the sun once shone
It’s OK for angels
To tell me what to do
But how can I be certain
If it’s right for me and you?
Nagging doubts
Sagging certainty
Nagging doubts
Oh, I need more signs!
Nagging doubts
Sagging certainty
Nagging doubts
I’m lost in my labyrinthine mind.
Context: The God of Israel laments the fickleness of His people, a song sung by a chorus:
Oh
My people
Hear My voice
The land is silent
The rivers are dry
Your eyes they stare
Your voices cry
To foreign gods
But I
Am God
And you
Are Mine
Thus weep
Your tears
For Me
Gideon leads his warriors into war against the Midianites:
The night is calling
The day is done
Dusk is falling
Our hearts are one
Warriors of soul
Our torches aflame
Trumpets do
The word proclaim
Drums adrumming
For the Sacred Name
The Sacred Name
A sword for the Lord
A sword for the Lord
