JUDGES – Raised Up In Their Time by Bro H

Verse 1 When Joshua rested and memory thinned, The people forgot who they’d always been. The land was theirs, but the law grew dim, So trouble returned through the doors they left in. Chorus So Yahweh raised them up in their time, Not crowned in gold, not royal in line. When the people cried beneath the rod, He sent deliverers—by the hand of God. Verse 2 Othniel stood when the first chains came, Ehud struck down a tyrant king. Shamgar rose with an ox-goad plain, When no one else would stand again. Chorus So Yahweh raised them up in their time, Men and women of common kind. Not chosen for fame or a lasting name, But sent to break the yoke of shame. Verse 3 Deborah judged beneath the tree, A mother in Israel calling for thee. Barak marched when she went along, And the land had rest when the battle was won. Verse 4 Gideon threshed in a hidden place, Till Yahweh called him by name and grace. By few, not many, the victory came, So no man could boast in his own strength gained. Chorus So Yahweh raised them up in their time, To show His power through the lowly kind. When pride was crushed and fear gave way, The enemy fell, and the land had peace. Verse 5 Jephthah came from rejection’s door, Called to lead when none would go before. Samson stood with strength untamed, A vow held fast, then carelessly traded away. Bridge Rest would come… then drift away, Each generation walking the same old way. Not because Yahweh turned aside, But because the people would not abide. Final Verse When there was no king to guard the way, Every man chose what seemed right that day. Yet mercy stayed when faith was thin, Till Yahweh raised them up again.
