For Such a Time as This
Okay, I can’t decide which my favorite Bible song is – this one or David & Goliath. It’s a toss-up. But I CAN say that I think this one is the most unique, and I really love it. I think it’s the perfect song for young women and girls.
Esther knew she’d been saved by God for the time she was in. And this is true of each one of us today. We are children of the promise just like she was. As we speak the truth and shine God’s light in all we do, He will bless us to fulfill our role, “for such a time as this.”

Lyrics
Long ago there lived a deeply faithful soul.
A woman who was brave and bold
And Esther was her name.
She heard a plan created by a wicked man
To kill the people of her land
Upon a coming day.
She rose to say, “Oh let us humbly fast and pray
That the king will keep us safe
And let our nation live.”
She spoke the truth though she would be in danger too
For she was sent from God, she knew,
For such a time as this.
Oh Esther stood before the king with bold, unshaken faith.
And with the help of God, she saved her nation that day.
And now we’ll rise and say, “We’re children of the promised day.
Called of God to share our faith
To tell the world He lives.
Oh we’ll speak the truth and shine His light in all we do
for we believe He sent us, too
For such a time as this.

We’ll definitely practice this song for the primary presentation by the end of the year. Touching and inspiring

Love this! I’m the YW Stake Camp director in our stake this year and this song is one that will be perfect to sing at camp! We are focusing on Trusting in the Lord and Esther is one of the women of the scriptures that we are focusing on as part of Camp.. I just happened to fall upon this song while watching another YouTube.. I’m thinking that it wasn’t by accident!
