Lord, if You choose the least of these, qualified am I
As long as I have Your strength, then I can comply
Gideon was obedient, because You were his source
Winning a great battle over a much superior force

When I am obedient and to my will I die
That is when You let me know-qualified am I
As Your Spirit leads me, victory is in store
Because You live in me, new life will I explore

When my life is over and I leave this earth
Everything I went through, will translate to great worth
Because You died for me, my sin to justify
I’ll get to live with You, as sanctified am I

Judges 6:15 – “Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.”

1 Corinthians 1:27–30 – “But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him. 30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.”

Judges 6 & 7

I am so glad that it is not my good works that get me to heaven. If that were the case, I would fall short. It is only because Jesus died for me to take away my sins and pay the price for them that I am qualified to live with Him eternally. So is everyone else who believes this. For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whoever would believe in Him will not die but have eternal life.
