_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
Esther was an orphan [Em] girl.
_ Her Jewish [F#] name was Hadassah.
_ [Bm] _
Her people lived in [Em] Persia and were exiled [A] from Israel.
_ _ She was taken to [D] the palace.
She was beautiful. _
And out of all the women of the [A] land, she was chosen to marry the king [D] _ [A] Ahasuerus. _
[Bm] He didn't know she was a Jew.
_ [E] _ _
But there was an evil [A] man.
His name was Haman, the Agagite.
[D] _ He worked for the king and [G] he wanted to kill all the Jews [A] because Mordecai the Jew [D] refused to bow [A] down to the evil [Bm] Haman.
_ And Mordecai [E] said, _ only to the God [A] of Israel I will bow. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ The evil Haman made a decree to kill all the Jews.
_ Queen [E] Esther asked her people to fast and [Em] pray for three days and she [D] would go boldly before [F#m] the king.
[Dm] [C] She had a [Bm] plan to save [A] her people and she said, _ if I perish, I perish.
I will petition before the king.

[D] _ The king [G] Ahasuerus made a decree to hang the [A] evil Haman, the same gallow he [D] made to kill Mordecai [A] the Jew.
[Bm] _ And for the Jews there was [E] light, gladness, joy [A] and honor, a feast and a holiday.
And many among [D] the peoples became Jews for [G] the dread of the Jews had fallen [A] on them.
And the people of [D] Israel made a [A] custom for themselves [D] and for their descendants and for [E] all those who allied themselves [A] with them,
so that they would not fail to celebrate these two days [Bm] according to their appointed time annually.
So these days were to be remembered _ [E] and celebrated throughout every [Em] generation, every family, [F#m] every province and every [C] city.
And these days of [Bm] Purim [A] were not to fail from among the Jews or their memory fade from their descendants.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ Oh God, [G] I will _ save _ [D] us, I will [A] be _ _ courageous.
_ [Bm] _ _
If I die, [G] I die.
I'll [A] have faith, I'll risk my _ life.
_ [Bm] _ To the God [G] of _ _ [D] Israel, _ _ alone [A] I bow my [Em] knees.
You have [D] chosen _ _ me, [C] for [Bm] such a [A] time as _ _ this. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ Today we are the generation of Hadassah, [A] Esther.
We stand in [Bm] prayer and courage for the people [D] of Israel. _
Another big plot to destroy the nation of [A] Israel and the Jewish people with a nuclear attack [F#] comes again from [Bm] Persia, Iran.
_ If [D] Hadassah was here today, she would say, fast and pray for [A] the soldiers of Israel and [Em] all its people.
[E] We pray that Adonai [F#m] will protect the [A] people of Israel [Bm] and reveal to [A] them the Jewish Messiah, _ Yeshua HaMashiach, who will return to fight for Israel.
[D] _ _ If the evil Haman had succeeded in [A] exterminating the Jews, the Messiah from [Bm] the tribe of Judah, Yeshua, [D] would not be born.
If the people of Israel are [A] exterminated, Yeshua will not return, because he [F#] will only [Bm] return when his people in [D] Jerusalem will say,
Blessed is he who comes in the name [A] of the Lord. _ _
[Em] _ To _ [E] _ _ [D] _
the God of Israel, [A] alone [Bm] we shall bow [A] our knees.
He has chosen us for such a time as this. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
Adonai will [G] _ save _ [D] us, I will be [A] _ _ _
courageous.
_ [Bm] _ If I die, [G] I die.
I will [A] have faith, I will risk my _ _ _ [Bm] life.
To the God [G] of _ _ Israel, [D] _ _ alone [A] I bow my _ [Em] knees.
You have _ [D] chosen _ _ me [C] for _ [B] such _ [A] a time.
_ _ _ _ _ I _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
will be strong, _ _ _
[A] _ I trust [Bm] in the Lord.
_ [D] _ _ I'll sing the song _ _ [A] _ _
of _ _ victory.
