Lyrics for these two songs
For Such A Time As This
Kim Hill
Some of you, are like the woman at the well Longing for something to fill the emptiness. If you just knew, this Living Water could bring life Poured out upon your soul. Some of you, are like the servant Mary Pouring your heart out, daily at His feet 'Cause you've allowed, the disappointing things in life To draw you closer to Him. So rise up out of the ashes Look in your Father's eyes! For such a time as this You have been created For such a time as this You were born (repeat) Others, too, have grown to be like Martha You felt His touch, so many times before But now you live, within the busyness of life Trying to win His love. So lay down the works of your hands And rest within His arms!
For such a time as this
You have been created
For such a time as this
You were born. (repeat)
But all of you were like Esther
Though you may never stand before a King
Or save a nation
But could He call you, to save a nation?
Could He use you?
Could He be raising you up to save this nation?
For such a time as this
I have been created
For such a time as this
I was born (repeat x3)

You say you see no hope
You say you see no reason we should dream
That this world would ever change
You say that love is foolish to believe
'Cause they'll always be some crazy
With an army or a knife
To wake you from your daydream
Put the fear back in your life
Look, if someone wrote a play
Just to glorify what's stronger than hate
Would they not arrange the stage
To look as if the hero came too late
He's almost in defeat
It's looking like the evil side will win
So on the edge of every seat
From the moment that the whole thing begins
It is Love who mixed the mortar
And it's Love who stacked these stones
And it's Love that made the stage here
Though it looks like we're alone
In this scene set in shadows
Like the night is here to stay
There is evil cast around us
But it's Love that wrote the play
In this darkness
Love can show the way
Now the stage is set
You can feel your own heart beating in your chest
This life's not over yet
So we get up on our feet and do our best
We play against the fear
We play against the reasons not to try
Playing for the tears
Burning in the happy angel's eyes
'Cause it is Love who mixed the mortar And it's Love who stacked these stones And it's Love whom made made a way here Though it looks like we're alone In this scene set in shadows Like the night is here to stay There is evil cast around us But it's Love that wrote the play And in this darkness Love can show the way
Show the way (repeat 4x)
