Born For This by Mandisa

These are lyrics from the song "Born for This" by Mandisa as the character of Ester in the CD The Story. Ester was a young woman who became the wife of the Persian king Ahasuerus. Shortly afterward, she learned of a plot by the advisor Haman to destroy the Jews. Ester risked her own death by marching into the king's court when he had not called her (Ester 4:11). Ester informed the king of the plot and rescued her people.

 

Feels like I've been holding my breath, 

trying to still my restless heart

Everything hangs on my next step,
finding my nerve, playing my part

I found shelter underneath His crown,
found favor inside His eyes

Rock this boat, and I just might drown,
honesty seems to come with a price

There's a time to hold your tongue,
time to keep your head down

There's a time but it's not now

Sometimes you gotta go, uninvited

Sometimes you gotta speak
when you don't have the floor

Sometimes you gotta move,
when everybody else says you should stay

No way, no, not today

You gotta ask, if you want an answer

Sometimes you gotta stand apart from the crowd

Long before your heart could run the risk

You were born for this

You were born for this

I'm leaning on the ones before me,
my father's father's dreams

I'm standing on the top of their shoulders
calling the One delivering me

There's a time to hold your tongue,
time to keep your head down

There's a time but it's not now

Sometimes you gotta go, uninvited

Sometimes you gotta speak
when you don't have the floor

Sometimes you gotta move,
when everybody else says you should stay
 No way, no, not today

You gotta ask, if you want an answer

Sometimes you gotta stand apart from the crowd

Long before your heart could run the risk

You were born for this

You were born for this

One step, one move.

Born to trust You.

Made to lay my

Life before You

Sometimes you gotta go, uninvited

Sometimes you gotta speak
when you don't have the floor

Sometimes you gotta move,
when everybody else says you should stay

No way, no, not today

You gotta ask, if you want an answer

Sometimes you gotta stand apart from the crowd

Long before your heart could run the risk

You were born for this

You were born for this

You were born for this

You were born for this

You were born for this
