Barak & Deborah
Parody of "Abracadabra" by Steve Miller Band
((Judges 4:1-5:31, 1 Samuel 12:11, Hebrews 11:32))

I read up – I can't put it down
'Cause God's Word's really profound and sound
'Round this town, they doubt it, though
And where is God? Nobody knows
In the time the Judges reigned 
The people's problems were the same
Then there came two who inspired
Just a lady with a guy right beside her

That was Barak and Deborah 
In Judges -- seek out the chapter
Chapter 4, 5, etc. -- Barak and Deborah

You may be not a great big guy 
You may be half of David's size 
Keep returning to the Lord above 
Like the Judges I tell you of

That was Barak and Deborah
In Judges -- seek out the chapter
Chapter 4, 5, etc. -- Barak and Deborah

At first Barak he was sure a mess 
But little Debbie was a prophetess
Still King Jabin threatened their race
Back then it was a dangerous place
I can imagine the Israelites
Might fear those nasty Canaanites
But Deborah said, Barak, don't get afraid
Just fear the Lord and do what I say

That was Barak and Deborah
In Judges -- seek out the chapter
Chapter 4, 5, etc. -- Barak and Deborah

Sisera the commander came
To beat up Barak but turned in shame
Turned in vain, 'cause Jael was right there 
Just a lady with the eye of the tiger – yeah yeah eah eah

I read up – I can't put it down
It's inspirational and profound
I read up – I can't put it down
It's inspirational and profound

Judges 4:9
"Certainly I will go with you," said Deborah. "But because of the course you
are taking, the honor will not be yours, for the Lord will deliver Sisera into
the hands of a woman." So Deborah went with Barak to Kedesh.
