Gideão e Os Trezentos

Gather the people, Gideon
The time to fight has come
The choice will be great
The cowards and the fearful
Will turn back from the path

Gather the people, Gideon
I will mark your history
I will give you deliverance
For only with three hundred
I will give you victory

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

And the Lord said to Gideon
There are too many people with you
For me to give the Midianites into your hands
So that Israel may not boast against me, saying
My own hand has saved me!
Proclaim now to the people, saying
Let the cowards and the fearful return!

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

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

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

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

But three hundred with trumpets
Three hundred with pitchers
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 war
The command is His, the strategy is His
He commands to break the pitchers and blow the trumpets
Do not 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 do not want to go
God uses the three hundred

But three hundred with trumpets
Three hundred with pitchers
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 do not want to go
God uses the three hundred
The victory belongs to the people of God!
