Ester

It’s not another story of kings and queens
Perhaps this ambition in Esther did not even exist
It’s not another story of love in ancient times
The king that falls in love for an ordinary bride

It was never about what we chose for ourselves
It is a purpose of heaven revealed
The values we keep do not go with the wind

The unlikely became, the likely woman she became
Helped a captive people, in a plot of enemies
Someone else to replace her, could the Lord raise up
But queen Esther was the woman
Who would fulfill the Lord's will
But queen Esther was the woman
Who would fulfill the Lord's will

This is a story of an orphan jew
That the Lord's favor possessed
This is a story of positioning
Attitudes are seeds that blossom over time

It was never about what we chose for ourselves
It is a purpose of heaven revealed
The values we keep do not go with the wind

The unlikely became, the likely woman she became
Helped a captive people, in a plot of enemies
Someone else to replace her, could the Lord raise up
But queen Esther was the woman
Who would fulfill the Lord's will
But queen Esther was the woman
Who would fulfill the Lord's will

For three days, for three days, prayer and fasting would be done
For three days, for three days, with clamor freedom would come
Honor and mercy would be poured out

The unlikely became, the likely woman she became
Helped a captive people, in a plot of enemies
Someone else to replace her, could the Lord raise up
But queen Esther was the woman
Who would fulfill the Lord's will
But queen Esther was the woman
Who would fulfill the Lord's will

It’s not another story of kings and queens
Perhaps this ambition in Esther did not even exist
