Gideon’s Fleece

          

           
            

                 He was the least in his family

               That gave him the menial tasks,

              It was a case of taking his place

               Since of his brothers he was the last.

                 But one day God called him

               He was to defeat the Midianites,

               But Gideon knew only too well

                That he was not one for a fight.

                But to be sure it was true

               Twice Gideon put out his fleece,

              God honoured his request each time

                Much to Gideon’s relief.

             

            With an army of three hundred

            God took out the Midianites,

             The sword of the LORD, and Gideon,

               Put the Midianite armies to flight.
