THE FORGIVEN
                      ©1997, John A.Poe,Jr.
1
Once Gideon went to war with thirty thousand men,
But he found most of them were unprepared to win;
He kept a tiny crew who had faith and loyalty,
And those commited few won a mighty victory.
2
God’s people marched along toward the promised land one day,
But found the walls of Jericho standing in their way;
So following God’s command they all marched ‘round and ‘round,
And when the trumpets blew those walls came tumbling down.
(chorus)
We have to take a stand for Jesus in this land;
There is no other name for salvation has been given;
We must stand up and fight for what we know is right;
We’re the few, the saved, the forgiven.
3
Now God has ordered you and me: go and spread the word
To each and every nation til everyone has heard.
The trumpet call has sounded, the battle has begun,
But Satan is defeated, and we’ve already won!
(chorus)
We have to take a stand for Jesus in this land;
There is no other name for salvation has been given;
We must stand up and fight for what we know is right;
We’re the few, the saved, the forgiven.
(repeat chorus)
(ending)
We’ve got to stand and fight for what we know is right...
We’re the few, the saved, the forgiven.
