Retell - Esther Lyrics

We think our outward beauty is all that we may need
So Vashti oh so lovely thought she was the untouchable queen
She made the king so angry when she denied his one request
And swiftly had the tables turned because of haughtiness

You attained royalty my dear in such a time as this
God's sovereignty and faithfulness is clear in such a time as this
You attained royalty my dear in such a time as this
God's sovereignty and faithfulness is clear in such a time as this

Hadassah known as Esther was elevated to be queen
Descendant from the tribe of Benjamin a fresh beauty like they'd never seen
Uncle Mordecai kept the laws and he lived in the citadel
Each day he came to the king's gate to watch over the niece he loved so well

You attained royalty my dear in such a time as this
God's sovereignty and faithfulness is clear in such a time as this
You attained royalty my dear in such a time as this
God's sovereignty and faithfulness is clear in such a time as this

Haman descendant of Amalekites a very ancient foe
Whose pride was bruised because uncle Mordecai wouldn't bow before him really low
Haman decided he should kill him but not just one silly man
He chose to make an edict that would wipe out all like him across the land
Mordecai overheard another plan those close to kill the King
He told the queen called Esther about this heinous thing
She quickly told the King that Mordecai found out and the King ever grateful
You'll see how this story plays out

You attained royalty my dear in such a time as this
God's sovereignty and faithfulness is clear in such a time as this
You attained royalty my dear in such a time as this
God's sovereignty and faithfulness is clear in such a time as this

God's people were to perish, that was the evil plan
In sackcloth and ashes Mordecai bid the queen you better take a stand
She backed away and then proclaimed a fast to seek God's face
The plan He gave his merry way the King to sway
His scepter he pulled out
Gave ear to hear his lovely queen stated all that she knew
Then Haman saw his end was soon
The hangman's pole meant for his foes had now become his doom

You attained royalty my dear in such a time as this
God's sovereignty and faithfulness is clear in such a time as this
