For Such a Time as This
(Esther)
Lyrics:
Verse 1
We severed ourselves from our God
Through sin and compromise
The world, the enemy, the flesh
Unite for our demise
Verse 2
Oh who will rise for our relief?
For our deliverance stand?
Oh who will rescue and redeem
Our fallen, guilty band?
Chorus
For such a time as this
You’ve called us to proclaim
You’ve called us to proclaim good news:
“Christ died and took our place
To ransom and to raise
All who receive His grace and truth”
Verse 3
Our sorrow turned to gladness now
Our mourning into joy
We wait the day when Jesus’ reign
Will over all deploy
