| Long ago there lived a very faithful soul |
| A woman who was brave & bold |
| And Esther was her name |
| She hear a plan created by a wicked man |
| To kill the people of her land |
| Upon a coming day |
| She rose to say, “O let us humbly fast and pray |
| That the king will keep us safe |
| And let our nation live.” |
| She spoke the truth though she would be in danger too |
| For she was sent from God, she knew |
| For such a time as this. |
| Oh Esther stood before the king with bold, unshaken faith |
| And with the help of God, she saved her nation that day. |
| And now we’ll rise and say, “We’re children of the promised day, |
| Called of God to share our faith, to tell the world He lives.” , |
| Oh, we’ll speak the truth, and shine His light in all we do, |
| For we believe He sent us too |
| For such a time as this |
