Text:
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. 

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. 

For such a time as this, through covenants we'll convey
Our trust in God's sure care until the coming day. 
We will manifest true faith and cheerfully comply. 
We'll consecrate our all and honor God on high. 

Not on our watch, we will not recede. 
Yes, on our watch, we will ever heed. 
Not on our watch, we'll not fail to stand. 
Yes, on our watch, we will take God's hand. 

For such a time as this, our Savior's always near. 
By fasting and through prayer, we will not ever fear.
We have come to do his will, and in his strength abide.
For such a time as this, our God is by our side. 

Yes, in these days, vict'ry we will claim. 
Yes, we'll conquer, honoring his Name. 
This is our time, courage He'll bestow, 
And, like Esther, heaven's God we know. 

And, like Esther, heaven's God we know.
