For Such A Time As This (ICD Dance Choreograph & Lyrics)

(Video to be added for this dance)

Lyrics:


Because he was the favorite of their father
His brothers wanted Joseph in the grave
They devised a plan
And a passing caravan
Took Joseph down to Egypt as a slave
But the God of Abram was with Joseph
From prison he was lifted high above
When the famine came
His brothers learned his name
And Joseph spoke to them with words of love:

"For such a time as this
I lived through suffering
For such a time as this
I went through pain
Now God has raised me up
And shown me His grace and power
And I'm here
And God has brought you near
For such a time as this"

Esther was a Jewish girl in Persia
She found herself competing for the throne
Her beauty and her grace
Gained her the favored place
And Ahasuerus loved her as his own
Yet there was a fox within the palace
His plot to kill the Jews was undeterred
But Mordechai had learned
That Haman's anger burned
And sent a note to Esther with these words:

"For such a time as this
You have been chosen
For such a time as this
You've come to pow'r
Now you must take a stand
And risk all that you have gained
Have no fear
Perhaps you've been brought here
For such a time as this."

Jesus came to rescue and redeem us
For all of us had turned away from God
He would pay the price
And be the sacrifice
The offering for sin that God required
Pain and sorrow almost overwhelmed Him
As the time drew near for Him to die
Beneath the olive trees
With mournful cries and pleas
"Not my will, but Yours", they heard Him cry

"For such a time as this
I'll face the suff'ring
For such a time as this
I choose to die
Then God will raise me up
And seat me at His right hand
For it's clear
That God has brought me here
For such a time as this."

For such a time as this
Messiah suffered
For such a time as this
Y'shua died
Now God has raised Him up
He's ruling with presence and power
We proclaim
His name above all names
For such a time as this

Now God has raised Him up
He's ruling with presence and power
We proclaim
His name above all names
For such a time as this
For such a time as this
