Song: Ehud and King Eglon

Verse 1: In the land of Israel, under Moab’s heavy hand, The people cried for freedom, for deliverance in their land. God raised up a hero, Ehud was his name, A left-handed warrior, who’d bring an end to their shame. Chorus: Oh, Ehud, brave and true, With a message from the Lord, he knew what to do. With courage in his heart and a sword by his side, He brought freedom to his people, with God’s strength as his guide. Verse 2: He crafted a sword, sharp and strong, Hid it on his thigh, where it belonged. To King Eglon he went, with tribute in hand, A secret message from God, he had planned. Chorus: Oh, Ehud, brave and true, With a message from the Lord, he knew what to do. With courage in his heart and a sword by his side, He brought freedom to his people, with God’s strength as his guide. Bridge: In the cool upper room, the king sat alone, Ehud drew his sword, and the deed was done. He locked the doors behind, and made his escape, Rallied the Israelites, their victory to shape. Verse 3: The Moabites fell, ten thousand strong, Israel was free, their suffering gone. For eighty years, peace reigned in the land, Thanks to Ehud’s courage, and God’s mighty hand. Chorus: Oh, Ehud, brave and true, With a message from the Lord, he knew what to do. With courage in his heart and a sword by his side, He brought freedom to his people, with God’s strength as his guide. Outro: So remember Ehud, when times are tough, With faith and courage, we are enough. For God is with us, in every fight, Guiding our steps, with His divine light.
