DEBORAH © 1996 Hannon
Deborah was a mother in Israel
Deborah had a wondrous story to tell
Of Theology; recent History; showing how Israel fell
Then repentance; victory; so in peace they now could dwell
Of the tough as nails heroine named Jael
Geography - Meteorology - witty words as well
Yes, Deborah was a mother in Israel
The small towns lost their people; they fled and feared their fate
Idolatry, that was the cause of terror at their gate
Canaanite law for spear and shield control
Must have been in place as well
'Til Deborah arose, a mother in Israel
While she was judge, men then arose who followed God, then led
The people back to all God's ways to follow what He said
She criticised the chicken tribes, and praised the ones who did well
Yes, Deborah was a mother in Israel
Reuben was a tribe that did a lot of talking
When it was time to march to war they didn't start a-walking
And so for years they sang of their fears whenever they went to the well
Because Deborah was a mother in Israel
There was a key to victory; the ones who volunteered
They faced the horse and chariot that their forefathers feared
The chariots were swept away, when the river it did swell
While Deborah was a mother in Israel
