Estaca e Martelo

After twenty years
Of pain and suffering
In the hands of King Jabin of Canaan
The people of Israel can't bear it anymore
They start to cry out to the God of heaven
The Prophetess Deborah sent for Barak
And said to him: Thus Says the Lord!
Gather ten thousand men from Naphtali and Zebulun
And I will draw the enemy to the Kishon River

But Barak feared and then replied
I will only fight in this war if you go with me
Alone I won't go!
Deborah confirmed she would go with him
But the honor of the war would be delivered into the hands of a woman

For in Israel there was a different woman
Named Jael, she was a God-fearing woman
Even though her husband was a friend of the Canaanites
That never shook her faith in God
With deep stakes her tent was firmly set
Even with the situation the nation faced
For there was a captain who tormented the people of Israel day and night

Almost a thousand iron chariots did Captain Sisera have for war
For the people of Israel to win this battle was almost impossible
But the Almighty who rules in heaven and on earth
Descended from the mountain to fight and show why He is invincible

The time for battle arrived, all prepared in tension
Then the clouds in the sky began to rain, it was God in action
The river overflowed, the earth trembled
The river swept away God's enemies
The mountains shook, they trembled in fear
Israel attacked and they perished
Before the power of heaven
The captain fled to Jael's tent

But she was different
She had a stake and a hammer
A hammer that crushes the rock
A stake that holds the tent
It's word and prayer

To defeat the enemy
It's stake and hammer
Want your house to stand?
It's word and prayer
If you want authority amidst diversity
It's stake and hammer

To win this battle
It's word and prayer
Want to remain standing?
And triumph in this war
Use the stake of prayer
And the hammer of the word
So the enemy falls to the ground
