Born For This by Mandisa

These are lyrics from the song "Born for This" by Mandisa as the character of Ester in the CD The Story. Ester was a young woman who became the wife of the Persian king Ahasuerus. Shortly afterward, she learned of a plot by the advisor Haman to destroy the Jews. Ester risked her own death by marching into the king's court when he had not called her (Ester 4:11). Ester informed the king of the plot and rescued her people.

 

Feels like I've been holding my breath, 
trying to still my restless heart
Everything hangs on my next step,
finding my nerve, playing my part
I found shelter underneath His crown,
found favor inside His eyes
Rock this boat, and I just might drown,
honesty seems to come with a price
There's a time to hold your tongue,
time to keep your head down
There's a time but it's not now

Sometimes you gotta go, uninvited
Sometimes you gotta speak
when you don't have the floor
Sometimes you gotta move,
when everybody else says you should stay
No way, no, not today
You gotta ask, if you want an answer
Sometimes you gotta stand apart from the crowd
Long before your heart could run the risk
You were born for this
You were born for this

I'm leaning on the ones before me,
my father's father's dreams
I'm standing on the top of their shoulders
calling the One delivering me
There's a time to hold your tongue,
time to keep your head down
There's a time but it's not now

Sometimes you gotta go, uninvited
Sometimes you gotta speak
when you don't have the floor
Sometimes you gotta move,
when everybody else says you should stay
 No way, no, not today
You gotta ask, if you want an answer
Sometimes you gotta stand apart from the crowd
Long before your heart could run the risk
You were born for this
You were born for this

One step, one move.
Born to trust You.
Made to lay my
Life before You

Sometimes you gotta go, uninvited
Sometimes you gotta speak
when you don't have the floor
Sometimes you gotta move,
when everybody else says you should stay
No way, no, not today
You gotta ask, if you want an answer
Sometimes you gotta stand apart from the crowd
Long before your heart could run the risk
You were born for this
You were born for this
You were born for this
You were born for this
You were born for this
