JUDGES – When There Was No King by Bro H

Verse 1 The land was given, the battles won, The stones still stood, the work was done. But memory fades when peace feels strong, And hearts forget where they belong. They knew the land, they loved the gain, But left the law that bore the Name. Pre-Chorus What was planted half-obeyed Would grow into the debt they’d pay. Chorus There was no king in Israel, No law upon the throne, Every man did what seemed right, And called his will his own. They walked away from covenant light, Into the night they ran, When there was no king in Israel, Every man became the man. Verse 2 They bowed to gods that could not speak, Learned foreign ways, grew soft and weak. So chains were forged by disobedience, Oppression born of negligence. They cried too late, yet still He heard, The mercy written in His Word. Pre-Chorus Yahweh answered, time and again, Though they’d forget Him once again. Chorus There was no king in Israel, No justice in the land, Every man did what seemed right, By his own guiding hand. Deliverance would rise, then fall, Like sand slipping through their hands, When there was no king in Israel, Every man became the man. Bridge Farmers called, and mothers rose, Broken men with faith exposed. Not crowned by gold, not robed in fame, But sent beneath Yahweh’s Name. Peace would come, then drift away, When law was traded for delay. Final Chorus (stripped / quieter) There was no king in Israel, No throne where truth was bound, Every man did what seemed right, And the nation broke apart around. Yahweh stayed though they would roam, Faithful when His own went wrong, Waiting for the day once more When a king would lead them home.
