A Escolhida

It happened that the king's decree was proclaimed
And his law regarding the choice of the youngest queen
Who would assume the throne in place of Vashti
Many young and beautiful virgins
Were chosen and taken to the royal palace
Among them was Esther, a young Jewish girl, simple and poor
When her turn came
Esther found favor in the eyes of all who saw her
Men and women, great and small
Were amazed by Esther's beauty
So Esther was brought before King Ahasuerus
To his royal palace

And when the king saw the beautiful and gentle Esther pass by
Of all the virgins he saw, she was the most beautiful
The king loved Esther and was pleased with her
And he placed the royal crown on her, finding favor in her

And the king said: Make a great invitation
To all the princes and their servants
For Esther's feast
And he gave rest to the provinces
And gave gifts according to royal custom
For the queen had been chosen

He raises, exalts, transforms, elevates, and operates
The simple and humble to the throne He raises
Just to give victory to the faithful
Whether poor, Jewish, you can't, your God has a crown
When He is pleased, He gives good things
He gave a throne and crown to Queen Esther

It is God who has a crown, a crown of gold
A crown of honor, a crown of glory, a crown of victory
That exalts and lifts up whom He desires
He humbles the proud, makes the weak strong
He makes a small one great
Vashti loses the crown because she was arrogant
Power, wealth, and kingdom belong to God

God is God and there is no other, there is no equal on earth and in heaven
He is God, He is king, the kingdom is His brother
If He promised, He will fulfill, He is faithful and here today
He raises the humble from the dust, He does so
