Letra Esther de Sara Groves original

Verse 1
I have a picture of Esther and David
She is a young bride and he is a soldier
They didn’t know then that David was dying
They wouldn’t have children

Verse 2
Alone with a life time, Africa called
She went for the first time, it grew in her heart
All of the children, all of those children

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

Chorus
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

Verse 3
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
