Such a Time As This

You knew my days before I was ever formed in the womb
And the day I'd be born Lord Your keeping me through
Every moment of my life I see Your handprint on it
Yes, all along You were preparing and directing my steps
You would allow some things to teach me to build my character
While other times You would protect me shield me from every harm
Through every storm blurred moments when things didn't make since
Them dark days sleepless nights the constant flowing of tears
I'm still here, I'm breathing it's all part of Your plan
I've been chosen been called before the earth's foundations
To be a living testimony preach to all the nations
Every Word You have me speak I will rise and say it
I will not fear be dismayed I'll shout for all to hear it
Standing bold in the Faith by the Holy Spirit
You designed me for these moments I'm gon' represent
Stand before kings and queens wherever I am sent

I was born for such a time as this
At first, I didn't understand didn't make sense
But as I kept moving on You revealed my story
You knew me before I existed
This life I'm living has already been written
Just like them characters straight from Your Holy Script

Lord give me strength I need Your Wisdom each and everyday
This life I'm living is not my own purchased at Calvary
I've been designed uniquely made created in Your Image
I'm under Your Authority Your Word I live submitted
I seek Your Will to fulfill all that You've given me
To be a light in the dark a voice that lifts Your Name
Unashamed of my Faith send me I'll go my Father
Like Esther bowed before the Throne repeating her same posture
Casting my cares at Your feet lift my voice with petitions
For those who hurt I intercede Lord give them peace and healing
If I perish, then I perish I'm not on my own
Jesus is my Righteous Scepter Grace and Mercy flows
From His birth, grave and Cross even when He rose
I'll carry out this mission statement everywhere I go
This purpose that You gave me I will do won't turn from it
You're Revelation for my life the reason I am here

I was born for such a time as this
At first, I didn't understand didn't make sense
But as I kept moving on You revealed my story
You knew me before I existed
This life I'm living has already been written
Just like them characters straight from your Holy Script

You hold my future places I have yet to step into
As I walk out in Faith I place my trust only in You
With all my heart I acknowledge You in all my ways
I seek Your face Lord every hour, minute, night and day
Creator of Heaven and earth of the unseen and seen
Who am I that you're even mindful of me?
A mere mortal you gave Kingdom responsibilities
All that I do all that I say will be for Your Glory
Never imagined that one day I'd be doing this
You've given me more than I could ever ask for or think
No man can shut the doors that You have opened for me
It's all part of Your plan created for these moments
Like the blind man at Siloam send me out where I'm sent
I may not see all that You know keep me obedient
By Your Holy Spirit lead the way cover and shield
I've been cued I've been called forever I will yield

Persecution, sufferings are all part of it
Don't give up now you gon' reap a good harvest
God's prepared the way you were made for His callin'
All that you need you've been equipped just keep following
Persecution, sufferings are all part of it

I was born for such a time as this
Was born for such, born for such a time as this
I was born for such a time as this
Was born for such, born for such a time as this
For such a time, such a time, as this
