Gideão e Os Trezentos

Gather the people, Gideon
It's time to fight
The choice will be great
The cowards and the scared
Will turn back on the path

Gather the people, Gideon
I’m going to mark your story
I’ll give you deliverance
For with just three hundred
I’ll give you victory

Thirty-two thousand
Was the number of men ready to fight
They all seemed brave, ready to battle
But there are times when God decides to act differently
And the Lord said to Gideon: There are still too many

And the Lord said to Gideon
The people with you are too many
For Me to hand the Midianites over to you
So that Israel doesn’t boast against Me, saying
My own hand saved me!
Proclaim now to the ears of all the people, saying
The cowards and the scared, go back!

So the people heard
And began to turn back: One, two, twenty thousand turned back
But there are times when God wants to act differently
And the Lord said to Gideon
There are still too many

And the Lord said to Gideon
Take the people down to the water and there I will test them
And it shall be that whoever I tell you
This one will go with you, this one will go
But everyone I say
This one will not go with you, this one will not go

And Gideon ordered them to go down to the water
And from afar he began to understand
That there was a secret from God
In the way the people drank the water
For whoever took the water with their hand
And brought it to their mouth, this one would serve
But whoever knelt down, losing focus
That one would go back

And the secret of Jehovah at that moment
Was to choose from the thirty-two thousand
Only three hundred

But three hundred with trumpets
Three hundred with jars
Three hundred with torches
Three hundred with fire
Three hundred who obey
Three hundred brave
Three hundred true
Three hundred valiant

Because when God enters the battle
He’s in command, He’s got the strategy
He tells them to break the jar and blow the trumpets
Don’t try to understand God’s work

And the result is victory, victory, victory
Victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory
God is giving deliverance!
And the result is victory, victory, victory
Victory, victory, victory, victory
If thirty-two thousand don’t want to go
God uses the three hundred

But three hundred with trumpets
Three hundred with jars
Three hundred with torches
Three hundred with fire
Three hundred who obey
Three hundred brave
Three hundred true
Three hundred valiant

If thirty-two thousand don’t want to go
God uses the three hundred
Hallelujah, the victory belongs to the people of God!
