Women Seizing the Moment: For Such a Time As This

The totality of our lives can be measured in moments 
Which are brief at best
But never forget that a moment can shift 
Any circumstance, situation or test
And the definition of your legacy
Is determined by your actions
And a moment can cause a calming effect
Or a cataclysmic reaction
Women seizing the moment 
Moving with intentionality 
Handling life's situation 
With a spiritual mentality 

Now Esther was in a difficult dilemma 
Regarding her people and family 
But trust God to send the right solution
with absolute certainty 
And lo and behold a scenario unfolded 
And Esther became the new queen
Now in the right place at the right time
To do the right thing
Women seizing the moment 
For such a time as this 
Positioned and destined for greatness 
An opportunity not to be missed

Now able to look her enemies in the eyes 
To stand strong and be bold
And to tell them no longer will I let you hurt me
Nor will I lay down and fold
Women seizing the moment 
Operating purposefully 
With a decisive spirit 
And high morality

To understand that God will give us seasons 
In which we need to say yes
Now able to do all He asks of us 
And to do it at our best
To comprehend that God will equip us
To accomplish His goals 
But never forget that you're not the only one
Who can handle the role
Women seizing the moment 
Queen Esther laid down her legacy
To be a vessel that God used
To save the Jewish community 
Women seizing the moment 
Queen Esther answered her call
Even knowing that she could perish,
Die or lose it all

To realize when saying yes to God   
A paradigm shift will come
And by saying yes you're assured
The victory will be won
Exceedingly, abundantly 
And beyond anything you can possibly see
Women seizing the moment 
For such a time as this with godly intentionality 
Women seizing the moment 
for such a time as this with godly intentionality
Women seizing the moment
For such a time as this with godly intentionality
