Mighty man of valor Mighty man, then why do I sit and cower? Yah surely holds miraculous power Why then are we forsaken in this hour? Go in might he said, surely I have sent you But my family so small, could this be true? The altar break down, the wooden idol hew Task confirmed by miracle of morning dew Two times I asked and two times Yah answered Now is the time to raise the battle standard The call goes out to the tribes as commanded Now a mighty army to me has gathered [Chorus] Arise, take courage, mighty man of valor Lead the warriors and raise up the banner Topple the idols and break down the altars With three hundred men Yehovah conquers Yehovah conquers, Yehovah conquers [Verse] But too many men, the thirty two thousand Too easy to forget it's all by Yah’s hand The fearful released, still too many remain The water a test to cut numbers again Arise and go down, they're given to your hand With one mighty act you will free all the land Yet if still you fear, to the camp draw near And take courage from the dreams you will hear Filled with courage from the enemies visions I split my men up into three divisions Up we went, up to the crest of the hill Now is the time to reveal Yehovah’s will In the time before dawn, in the still darkness Each man's sword blade glittering with sharpness We threw down the jars and lifted the torches Blew the shofars and raised up our voices [Bridge] Three hundred men, three hundred torches Three hundred jars, three hundred voices Three hundred shofars, Israel rejoices Three hundred men, three hundred torches Three hundred jars, three hundred voices Three hundred shofars, Israel rejoices The sword of Yehovah and Gideon The sword of Yehovah and Gideon [Chorus] Arise, take courage, mighty man of valor Lead the warriors and raise up the banner Topple the idols and break down the altars With three hundred men Yehovah conquers Yehovah conquers, Yehovah conquers [Verse] The enemy then flees in terror and fear Setting on each other with sword and with spear The armies of Israel called to pursue Seize the watering places so none break through Capture the princes, take hold of the kings From lips of the people jubilation rings Gideon in faith carries out the command And Yehovah delivered all to his hand [Outro] Three hundred men, three hundred torches Three hundred jars, three hundred voices Three hundred shofars, Israel rejoices Arise, take courage, mighty man of valor Lead the warriors and raise up the banner Topple the idols and break down the altars With three hundred men Yehovah conquers Arise, take courage, mighty man of valor Lead the warriors and raise up the banner Topple the idols and break down the altars With three hundred men Yehovah conquers Yehovah conquers, Yehovah conquers
