[C]Long ago there lived a deeply [G]faithful soul.
A woman who was [F]brave and bold and Esther was her [C]name.
She [C]heard a plan created by a [G]wicked man
To kill the people [F]of her land upon a coming [C]day.
She [C]rose to say, “Oh let us humbly [G]fast and pray
That the king will [F]keep us safe and let our nation [C]live.”
She [C]spoke the truth though she would be in [G]danger too
For she was sent from [F]God, she knew, for such a time as [C]this.
Oh [G]Esther stood be[C]fore the king with [F]bold, un[G]shaken [C]faith.
And [G]with the help of [C]God, she saved her [D7]nation that [G7]day. [A7]
And now we’ll [D]rise and say, “We’re children of the [A]promised day.
Called of God to [G]share our faith to tell the world He [D]lives.
Oh we’ll [D]speak the truth and shine His light in [A]all we do
For we believe He [G]sent us, too for such a time as [D]this.
