Unlikely Heroes

Words and Music by Dan Lee-Archer, Paul Stokes & David Wakerley

VERSE 1: 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

CHORUS: 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

VERSE 2: 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

VERSE 3: 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

VERSE 4: 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

VERSE 5: 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
