For Such A Time As This
Wayne Watson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To be faithful
To be holy
And to shine
Lighting up the darkness
Right now, I really have no choice
But to voice the truth to the nations
A generation looking for God
For such a time as this
I was placed upon the earth
To hear the voice of God
And do His will
Whatever it is
For such a time as this
For now and all the days He gives
I am here, I am here
And I am His
For such a time as this
You, Do you ever wonder why
Seems like the grass is always greener
Under everybody else's sky
But right here, right here for this time and place
You can live a mirror of His mercy
A forgiven image of grace
For such a time as this
I was placed upon the earth
To hear the voice of God
And do His will
Whatever it is
For such a time as this
For now and all the days He gives
I am here, I am here
And I am His
For such a time as this
Can't change what's happened till now
But we can change what will be
By living in holiness
That the world will see Jesus
For such a time as this
I was placed upon the earth
To hear the voice of God
And do His will
Whatever it is
For such a time as this
For now and all the days He gives
I am here, I am here
And I am His
For such a time as this
The lyrics to Wayne Watson's song For Such A Time As This are a reminder of our purpose on earth. The singer emphasizes that all we have is now and we must use it to be faithful, holy and to shine. The darkness around us may seem overwhelming, but we have no choice but to voice the truth to the nations and a generation looking for God. The line, "For such a time as this" is a reference to the biblical story of Queen Esther who was placed in a position of influence to save her people from destruction, and Watson is suggesting that all of us have been placed on earth for a specific purpose.
The song encourages us to see ourselves as part of a bigger plan, to hear the voice of God and do His will, whatever it may be. The singer asks the listener to reflect on their purpose in life – the reason they were placed on earth – and to live a life reflective of Jesus Christ. The lyrics offer hope and the message that no matter what has happened in the past, it is never too late to make a positive impact on the world.
Overall, the song is a reminder of our important responsibility to make a positive impact in the world while we have the opportunity. We must embrace who we are, the time we have been given, and use it to make a difference in the world.

Now, all I have is now
I only have this present moment to live for God
To be faithful
To be loyal to God and His teachings
To be holy
To be pure and morally righteous in the eyes of God
And to shine
To let God's light shine through me and be a witness for Him
Lighting up the darkness
Being a ray of hope in a world filled with despair and pain
Right now, I really have no choice
I must speak the truth of God's message to the world, even if it's not easy
But to voice the truth to the nations
To boldly proclaim the message of God to all people
A generation looking for God
A world that is desperate for spiritual meaning and purpose
For such a time as this
For this moment in history, I have a purpose and destiny from God
I was placed upon the earth
God created me and put me here for a reason
To hear the voice of God
To listen to God's guidance and direction for my life
And do His will
To live according to God's plan and purpose for my life
Whatever it is
To obey God's will, even if it's difficult or unknown
For now and all the days He gives
For every day that God gives me in this life
I am here, I am here
I exist and have a purpose in this world
And I am His
I belong to God and am His servant
You, Do you ever wonder why
Have you ever questioned your purpose in life?
Seems like the grass is always greener
It's easy to think others have a better life or destiny than you
Under everybody else's sky
In the places where others live or in their circumstances
But right here, right here for this time and place
In this moment and in this specific circumstance
You can live a mirror of His mercy
You can reflect God's love and compassion for others
A forgiven image of grace
You can show the forgiveness of God and His unmerited favor
Can't change what's happened till now
We can't change the past or our previous choices and experiences
But we can change what will be
We can make choices in the present that shape our future and destiny
By living in holiness
By choosing to live according to God's standards and values
That the world will see Jesus
So that others can see Christ working in and through us
