00:00In Esther chapter 6, the Persian king Ahasuerus suffers from insomnia and orders his court records to be read,
00:06which reminds him that a Jew, Mordecai, previously exposed an assassination plot but was never rewarded.
00:13At that exact moment, Haman enters the court, intending to ask for Mordecai's execution,
00:19but before he can speak, the king asks him how to honor a man who truly pleases the king.
00:25Believing the king is referring to him, Haman arrogantly suggests that this honored man should be dressed in the king's
00:31own royal robes,
00:33ride the king's own horse, and be led through the city square by a noble prince proclaiming his honor.
00:39In a twist of poetic justice, the king commands Haman to immediately bestow these exact, lavish honors upon his bitter
00:47enemy, Mordecai,
00:49forcing Haman to publicly humiliate himself right before attending Esther's second banquet.
01:03You turn it all around
01:10You turn it all around
01:18For the one the king would honor, so the answer came
01:23Robes prepared a horse made ready
01:27For the one you name
01:30Whom you choose, you lift
01:34Whom you call, you bless
01:37Proud knees bow, low your purpose stands
01:43Whom you choose, you lift
02:09Whom you call, you bless

02:48Not by heart
02:50Not by pride
02:53Your hand turned
02:57The whole time
03:02Mordecai
03:04The King has called your name
03:08The King has called your name
03:13Whom you choose

03:19You bless
03:21Proud knees bow
03:23Low your purpose stands
03:27Whom you choose
03:30You live
03:37You live
03:39You live
03:42Your purpose stands
03:48Your purpose stands
04:03On a title
