Suah a Time as This (Esther's Song)

Oh my child I've watched you as you've grown Saw the awkward little girl Begin to live life on her own And I saw the tiny flower blossom, into a woman strong And I knew some day the Lord will let you shine where you belong So of all the girls around, the King choose you All the years that I have taught you Made a princess out of you This is not the time for relaxation, steeped in luxury 'Cause I knew sometime the Lord would lead you to your destiny And now's the time to serve Him Now's the time to be Someone who depends on him He will shape your destiny You must always trust him, faithfully believe You will follow he will lead, I will pray on a bended knee He placed you in this world where you exist For such a time as this So Esther the Lord has smiled on you And he's raised you up to be women powerful and true But a wicked man is plotting to destroy your people now And it seems to me the Lord chose you to stand for him this hour And as evil stands and raises its ugly head It is time for you to rise up and show Gods power instead To deliver now his people from annihilation's fate This is time for you to shine, your destiny awaits!
