Moses, Joseph, Jacob, Jonathan

David, Esther, Mary, Gideon

Samuel, Daniel, Jonah and the Whale

These are just some of the heroes from the

Bibles pages

Who put their trust in God and down

through the ages

Generations have heard these heroes tales

From these ordinary people came

extraordinary things

Everyday people like me

And if God don’t have no favourites then

you have to agree

There is an unlikely hero in me

Let’s start with Joshua the strong and

courageous

Spied out the land, did something

outrageous

Believed his God would help him take the

land

Let’s talk about Elijah a survivor

Won the showdown with fire

God’s power shown through this amazing

man

What about Esther there’s no bester

Had a fashion crew that dressed her

Put her life on the line for her people and

saved the day

Yeah their stories seemed to start the way

An ordinary life but they chose to obey

Unlikely heroes is what they all became

Let’s talk about Mary she was just a

teenager

Birthed God's son in a manger

Jesus came down, gave us eternal life

And then there’s Ruth, Yeah I tell you the

truth

God wants to redeem us she is living proof

Looked after Naomi and Boaz made her his

wife

I said Tim-o-thy, Yeah you-know-me

Learnt a lot from Paul about min-is-try

Took the message of Christ to the corners

of the earth

These ordinary heroes show this one thing

is true

If he did it for them he can do it for you

Living lives of purpose full of eternal worth
