• Born for This (Esther) by Mandisa

    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

    One step, one move.
    Born to trust You.
    Made to lay my
    Life before You
