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 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 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 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
