Answer Your Call (Floetic #2)
Step Out on Faith by Wak
Queen Esther
Scriptural Basis: When Esther's words were reported to Mordecai, 13 he sent back this answer: "Do not think that because you are in the king's house you alone of all the Jews will escape. 14 For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?" – NIV Esther Chapter 4 Verses 12-14
Lyrics
Queen, God has called you to be great
But will you answer your call?
Queen, you’re the one that has been sent
Will you take your place,
or keep paying rent?
Poem:
Stunning beauty in red
A queen, unconsciousness of her greatness
An effortlessly
beauty
Outside and in are twin
Because you wear only God within
And though the men admire your
Sandy skin
The bronzed beaches of your arms carry the weight of your kin
Yes child
You wereborn to a generation
Whose fate it is to be hated on
Around you fall drifts of dreams
That melt in warm air
Men scoff, “Nothing good can come from there.”
Born for the fabulous, but worse for the wear
Trapped by cell blocks
Built from expectations
Dashed
Who knows? Maybe you have come to a royal
position for such a time as this?
Lyrics
Queen, God has called you to be great
But will you answer your call?
Queen, you’re the one that has been sent
Will you take your place,
or keep paying rent?
Poem:
Queen had been spotted by a baller
Wanting to pluck you out of an eye like a lash
Dazzle you with promises of jewels and cash
And place your smile on his mantle
He’s got ample ice to show his rank
But he’s a drinker, not a thinker
He mixes ideology with latent desire
And lights a match to the fire
Gotta woman he calls wife
Full with his seed
A beautiful woman dressed in the blue of her countenance
Another jewel in his crown
But says he needs you, queen
He says…
He loves your face
Born from hated flesh
Prepares you
for him with
12 months opulent myrrh and fragrant oils
and a passion unrivaled
The object of electoral fanfare; a requisitioned woman
the consumed object of his brazen desire
Yet, brown skinned queen
You must walk through this heart of hell
For God has promised salvation for your people
consumed by the evil without
Or the fear within…
Lyrics
Queen, God has called you to be great
But will you answer your call?
Queen, you’re the one that has been sent
Will you take your place,
or keep paying rent?
Did not want to be battling
this other thing,this saving gracefor an irresolvable puzzle
But
Uncle says, "If you don't do it, it will be done, You have been born to do it."
You have been born to do it.
Many daughters have done well but you excel
past them all
Your story is told
We are
what we behold
