Watch on YouTube: For Such a Time as This

1.  For such a time as this We come to fight the foe,

Wherever we are placed, Like Esther, long ago.

Though Satan lays his snares And tries our souls to cheat,

Our courage we’ll maintain; Our mission we’ll complete.                         

Chorus:

Not on our watch, we will not retreat.  Yes, on our watch, Satan we will beat.

Not on our watch, we will not withdraw.  Yes, on our watch, we will keep God’s laws.

2.  For such a time as this, Through cov’nants we’ll convey

Our trust in God’s sure care Until the coming day.

We’ll sacrifice each hour And consecrate our all;

We’ll heed and we’ll obey; We’ll answer every call.

Chorus:

Not on our watch, we will not succumb.  Yes, on our watch, promises will come.

Not on our watch, we will not back down.  Yes, on our watch, in God’s love we’re bound.

3.  For such a time as this Our Father’s always near.

By fasting and through prayer We will not ever fear.

We’ve come to do His will And in His strength abide;

For such a time as this Our God is by our side.

Chorus:

Yes, in these days, vict’ry we will claim.  Yes, we’ll conquer, honoring His name.

This is our time; courage we will show.  And like Esther, heaven’s God we know.
