a new song for my bluegrass/acoustic band...just finished it last night :) the statement "you were born for such a time as this" has been popping up in my life quite a lot lately, so i figured maybe God wanted me to actually listen to it... :) so that is what this song is about: how God perfectly places us in the perfect moment of his redemptive history for his perfect purpose for our lives to be fulfilled in us. :) ♥

somewhere in my high-school years i gotta little lost
looking for direction, and if my dreams were worth the cost
everybody else seemed to have life all planned out
But i was still tryin' to find out what mine's about
V2
well Sunday morning rolled around, i grabbed the good Lord's book
dusted off the cover, and decided to take a look
i opened up to Esther in a time of great fear
and sweet ole cousin Mordecai whispered in her ear
Ch1
you were born for such a time as this
oh you were born for such a time as this
you may be just one girl
but its up to you to change the world
you were born for such a time as this
V3
Monday came so that meant all day in a desk again.
My teacher talking 'bout this country goin down the drain
But every class he'd proudly say "God Bless America"
He'd look us in the eyes sayin' "its time to stand up!
Ch2
'cus
you were born for such a time as this
oh you were born for such a time as this
just one strong generation
can change an entire nation
you were born for such a time as this
V4
well i grew up a little, and suddenly i see
no matter what i do in life, God's got big plans for me
So I will use my time on earth to spread the good Lord's news
Cus if we fight, for what is right, there aint no way we'll lose
Ch3
we were born for such a time as this
oh we were born for such a time as this
all it takes is just one voice,
to turn this silence into noise
oh we were born for such a time as this
we were born for such a time as this
ya we were born for such a time as this
so we will spread his light,
keep the faith and fight the fight
we were born for such a time as this
:)
