I wrote a song about the taking of the city of Ai by Joshua and his army. Seems that they came up with a plan that they would ambush the town by drawing them away from it with a fake pursuit. Then they proceeded to occupy the abandoned place. Uncharactaristically in Biblical times, they divided the plunder. I hope you like this song inspired by this story.
Send Them In
C F
too many battles
Bb F
won by stregnth and might
C F
Gideon had a little
Bb F
send them in
take them by pure mettle
we won't bargain for a settle
only twelve apostles
send them in
big tasks and big people
people without a steeple
David had a fiddle
send them in
take them by surprise
watch their fleeting eyes
take the town of Ai
send them in
speak with a soft tongue
lend a helping hand
give 'til you have none
send them in
