Songs were often written to commemorate great events in the Lord's dealing with Israel.
Things happen when God's people, both the leaders and the people as a whole, willingly offer themselves to the Lord's service.
When this happens the rest of the world needs to take notice, for things are going to change. The Lord works through men and women who are willing to obey and trust Him. Every action of the Lord in the Bible, save from creation itself, happened when one or more people were willing to offer themselves to the Lord.
In this part of Scripture it was Deborah's willingness that was the catalyst for the Lord's action. Before that time the land was oppressed, no one was willing or able to take up arms to defend the nation. Things changed when one person was willing to be different.
