Lyrics

She was torn away from home by palace order
The young Haddasah’s life changed forever
A royal crown placed on her head
The king loved her more than all the rest
But trouble lay ahead just ‘round the corner

Esther gained favor in the eyes of all who saw her
But Haman was hatin' and her people were in danger
They were in need of deliverance,
And she may have come for such a time, a time as this

Now the King of Persia gave Haman permission
To hunt down every Jew across the nation
But Mordecai went to the Queen
Said she had to do something
To stop his plan and save this generation

Esther gained favor in the eyes of all who saw her
But Haman was hatin' and her people were in danger
They were in need of deliverance,
And she may have come for such a time, a time as this

She had them fast day and night
Risked her life to go before the king
Said to them, "If I perish, I will perish!".....

Esther gained favor in the eyes of all who saw her
When Haman was hatin' and her people were in danger
They were in need of deliverance,
And she may have come for such a time, a time as this
For such a time as this
