[Verse 1]
Hidden in a strange land
New name, new tongue
Gold thread in a dark hand
Her story just begun
Little girl in a kingdom
Learning when to speak
A crown laid on her heartbeat
On a frightened, faithful queen

[Chorus]
For such a time as this
You put courage on her lips
When the night was closing in
You were standing in the midst
For such a time as this
You were writing every twist
What they meant to break apart
You were turning with a whisper in her heart

[Verse 2]
Banquet table waiting
Silk and quiet wine
A secret in her rib cage
A people on the line
She walks in, hands shaking
“Let it be,” she prays
If I fall, I fall here
But I’ll fall in Your grace

[Chorus]
For such a time as this
You put courage on her lips
When the night was closing in
You were standing in the midst
For such a time as this
You were writing every twist
What they meant to break apart
You were turning with a whisper in her heart

[Bridge]
You are in the closed doors
You are in the long odds
You are in the shallow breath
Of every child of God (oh-oh)
When the world feels too big
And my faith feels so small
You remind me of a girl
Who chose to risk it all

[Chorus]
For such a time as this
Put Your courage on my lips
When the night is closing in
Be the fire within my chest
For such a time as this
You are writing every twist
What they mean to break apart
You are turning with a whisper in my heart
