Queen of Courage, Shadows of the Throne (Book of Esther)

** "Queen of Courage, Shadows of the Throne" is a blues song inspired by the Book of Esther, drawing on the powerful themes of courage, providence, and redemption. In a world where God's hand often moves unseen, Esther's story reveals His presence even in times of darkness. Raised as an orphan and hidden within the Persian empire, Esther rises to the position of queen. Yet, when a plot to destroy her people surfaces, she must choose between risking her life by approaching the king or remaining silent while her people perish. Her bold decision to reveal her identity and plead for her people reveals a courage that defies fear, reminding us that "for such a time," each of us has a part to play. This song captures the depth of Esther's bravery and the hidden ways in which God's providence unfolds.

Original Text from Esther (World English Bible - WEB)

"For if you remain silent now, then relief and deliverance will come to the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. Who knows if you haven't come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" - Esther 4:14, WEB

** Queen of Courage, Shadows of the Throne Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
In the land of Persia, a king on his throne,
Called Vashti to his side, but she wouldn't come alone.
So he cast her aside in his anger and pride,
And the search began for a new queen to abide.

(Chorus)
Queen of courage, shadow and light,
God's hand was moving, though hidden from sight.
The crown found Esther, though the world didn't see,
The girl from nowhere, in a royal decree.

(Verse 2)
Haman came scheming, a dark, bitter soul,
Sought the life of a people, to settle his toll.
But Mordecai stood, he would not bow,
Said, "For this moment, Esther, it's your time now."

(Chorus)
Queen of courage, shadow and light,
God's hand was moving, though hidden from sight.
"For if you keep silent, relief will arise-
Who knows if you came here for such a time?"

(Verse 3)
Esther bowed low, her heart beatin' fast,
Called her people to prayer and a three-day fast.
She walked to the king, her life on the line,
And he lifted his scepter, said, "What's on your mind?"

(Bridge)
"I and my people, we've been sold to be slain,
If we had been sold as slaves, I'd keep my pain.
But we're set to perish by a bitter hand,
And I come to plead for my people and my land."

(Verse 4)
Oh, the king's anger burned when he heard her cry,
And Haman was hung by his own dark lie.
Mordecai lifted, justice to the Jews,
From a time of sorrow, came good news.

(Chorus)
Queen of courage, shadow and light,
God's hand was moving, though hidden from sight.
Purim is a day, to remember the night,
When darkness fell, but truth won the fight.

(Outro)
So raise up a song for the hidden hand,
For courage that speaks when you can't understand.
Queen of courage, shadows of the throne,
God's plan runs deeper than we've ever known.
