Judges

Lyrics by NƐØSHØ Music and Vocals by AI Lyrics: [Verse 1] Joshua’s bones in the promised land Canaan divided by a faithful hand But hearts grew cold when the elders died They chased foreign gods, left the Lord aside Altars of Baal in the valleys stood They forgot the One who had split the wood So the Lord withdrew His sheltering flame And enemies rose in Israel’s name [Pre-Chorus] They cried in chains, beneath the rod Forgotten the covenant, forgotten God [Chorus] Round and around the wheel would turn Sin and sorrow, repent and learn Oppressed, delivered, then back again A nation torn by the weight of sin No crown, no throne, no guiding voice Every man made his own choice This was the land, this was the cry When there was no king in Israel’s eye [Verse 2] Cushan-Rishathaim held them tight Eight long years in the shadowed night Till Othniel rose with the Spirit’s breath Victory wrestled from looming death Then Moab came with Eglon’s greed Till Ehud stood with a hidden blade Left hand steady, dagger concealed Justice struck, the tyrant fell [Verse 3] Deborah judged beneath the palm A prophetess calm in the storm of war “Rise up, Barak, the time is now” But fear still bent the warrior’s brow Sisera fled when the stars aligned Even heaven fought on Israel’s side Jael waited with hammer in hand The mighty commander fell in the sand [Chorus] Round and around the wheel would turn Sin and sorrow, repent and learn Oppressed, delivered, then back again A nation torn by the weight of sin No crown, no throne, no guiding voice Every man made his own choice This was the land, this was the cry When there was no king in Israel’s eye [Verse 4] Midian swarmed like a locust sea Till Gideon threshed in humility “Go in this strength, I’ll be with you” But faith asked proof, the fleece lay true From thirty thousand to three hundred souls With trumpets, jars, and a fearless role No sword but the Lord’s burning might The enemy fled into the night [Verse 5] Ammon rose from the eastern plain Jephthah came bearing rejection’s pain A rash vow spoken in zeal and flame Cost him dearly, etched in shame Victory won, but grief remained A lesson carved in a reckless name [Bridge] Born with a promise, set apart Strength in his hands, but cracks in his heart He tore down lions, shattered gates Yet danced too close to Delilah’s face Eyes put out, chained in the dark But even then God lit the spark Pillars shook when he cried once more The last judge fell, but struck the floor [Verse 6] Micah’s idols, a stolen priest Truth bent thin, devotion leased Gibeah burned with unspeakable sin Brother raised sword against kin Tribes collapsed in civil war Nearly lost forevermore [Final Chorus] Round and around the wheel would turn Grace still calling, hearts still burned God was faithful though they strayed Mercy waited when they prayed No crown, no throne, no guiding voice Every man made his own choice Yet through the dark, one truth still rings They needed more than judges They needed a King [Outro] From chaos rose a longing cry For righteous rule beneath God’s eye Judges ends, but hope remains A future King will break these chains
