Darin Browne - Suah a Time as This (Esther's Song) Lyrics

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!
