Charlie, you seem to have two completely different themes and stories going on here. The first theme or story involves the memory of your mother giving you a Bible to help you through some difficulty. The second theme or story relates to the mission of the Gideons (spreading the Word of God free of charge to the world) and connecting that mission to the Gideon of the Book of Judges (a military leader, who was victorious against the odds).
If I were you, I would pick one theme or the other, or try to establish a solid connection between the two different themes/stories. If you want to connect all the themes together, I would organize your song as follows:
VERSE 1: Talk about the Gideon of the Book of Judges and what he did.
VERSE 2: Talk about the mission of the Gideons.
CHORUS: Connect the stories in Verse 1 and Verse 2.
VERSE 3: Connect your personal story to Verses 1 and 2.
(Repeat Chorus)
