Esther

(album: The Other Side Of Something - 2004)

I have a picture of Esther and David
She is a young bride and he is a soldier
And they didn't know then that David was dying
They couldn't have children

Along with a lifetime, Africa called
She went for the first time, it grew in her heart
All of the children, so many children

Now Esther has 2.4 million children
She writes us and asks us to pray for them all

She's compelled, she's compelled by what she's seen
And she tells us, she tells us, "Do anything you can to help
Oh please help, there's so much to do
And I'm just Esther"

She visits her homeland, she fights with her words
She comes to the courts of the kings of the earth
Who don't understand their inherited power
To answer her question

Now Esther has 2.4 million children
She writes us and asks us to pray for them all

She's compelled, she's compelled by what she's seen
And she tells us, she tells us, "Do anything you can to help
Oh please help, there's so much to do
And I'm just Esther"

She writes us and asks us to pray
Now Esther has 2.4 million children

She writes us and asks us
She writes us and begs us

And she's compelled, she's compelled by what she's seen
And she tells us, she tells us, "Do anything you can to help
Oh please help, there's so much to do
And I'm just Esther"
