God hears our prayers even in the dark of night
Many hidden enemies wait in ambush for a fight
Who could have anticipated a war breaking out?
Who could have imagined what their plans were all about?

Do not be ignorant about Satan’s plans and schemes
He wants to rob and kill us of all our hopes and dreams
In the shadows waiting, an enemy unforeseen
Just like the book of Esther when they came against the queen

The bride of the king put her life on the line
To expose the enemies plot, with a banquet and fine wine
Her appeal was based on her relationship with the king
Who could have imagined the victory it would bring?

Do not fear the storm when the Lord is on your side
The secret to great peace is, where do you abide?
The trap the enemy set, turned back on them instead
Queen Esther’s brave appeal cost her enemy his head.

Esther 4:16 – “Go, gather all the Jews that are present in Susa, and observe a fast for me; do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maids also will fast in the same way. Then I will go in to [see] the king [without being summoned], which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish.” (AMP)

Esther 7:1-2 – “So the king and Haman went to Queen Esther’s banquet, 2 and as they were drinking wine on the second day, the king again asked, “Queen Esther, what is your petition? It will be given you. What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be granted.”
