5:1 On the third day Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king's palace, in front of the king's quarters, while the king was sitting on his royal throne inside the throne room opposite the entrance to the palace. 2 And when the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, she won favor in his sight, and he held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. Then Esther approached and touched the tip of the scepter. 3 And the king said to her, “What is it, Queen Esther? What is your request? It shall be given you, even to the half of my kingdom.” 4 And Esther said, “If it please the king, let the king and Haman come today to a feast that I have prepared for the king.” 5 Then the king said, “Bring Haman quickly, so that we may do as Esther has asked.” So the king and Haman came to the feast that Esther had prepared. 6 And as they were drinking wine after the feast, the king said to Esther, “What is your wish? It shall be granted you. And what is your request? Even to the half of my kingdom, it shall be fulfilled.” 7 Then Esther answered, “My wish and my request is: 8 If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my wish and fulfill my request, let the king and Haman come to the feast that I will prepare for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king has said.”

9 And Haman went out that day joyful and glad of heart. But when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he neither rose nor trembled before him, he was filled with wrath against Mordecai. 10 Nevertheless, Haman restrained himself and went home, and he sent and brought his friends and his wife Zeresh. 11 And Haman recounted to them the splendor of his riches, the number of his sons, all the promotions with which the king had honored him, and how he had advanced him above the officials and the servants of the king. 12 Then Haman said, “Even Queen Esther let no one but me come with the king to the feast she prepared. And tomorrow also I am invited by her together with the king. 13 Yet all this is worth nothing to me, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.” 14 Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, “Let a gallows fifty cubits high be made, and in the morning tell the king to have Mordecai hanged upon it. Then go joyfully with the king to the feast.” This idea pleased Haman, and he had the gallows made.

6:1 On that night the king could not sleep. And he gave orders to bring the book of memorable deeds, the chronicles, and they were read before the king. 2 And it was found written how Mordecai had told about Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs, who guarded the threshold, and who had sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus. 3 And the king said, “What honor or distinction has been bestowed on Mordecai for this?” The king's young men who attended him said, “Nothing has been done for him.” 4 And the king said, “Who is in the court?” Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the king's palace to speak to the king about having Mordecai hanged on the gallows that he had prepared for him. 5 And the king's young men told him, “Haman is there, standing in the court.” And the king said, “Let him come in.” 6 So Haman came in, and the king said to him, “What should be done to the man whom the king delights to honor?” And Haman said to himself, “Whom would the king delight to honor more than me?” 7 And Haman said to the king, “For the man whom the king delights to honor, 8 let royal robes be brought, which the king has worn, and the horse that the king has ridden, and on whose head a royal crown is set. 9 And let the robes and the horse be handed over to one of the king's most noble officials. Let them dress the man whom the king delights to honor, and let them lead him on the horse through the square of the city, proclaiming before him: ‘Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.’” 10 Then the king said to Haman, “Hurry; take the robes and the horse, as you have said, and do so to Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king's gate. Leave out nothing that you have mentioned.” 11 So Haman took the robes and the horse, and he dressed Mordecai and led him through the square of the city, proclaiming before him, “Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.”

12 Then Mordecai returned to the king's gate. But Haman hurried to his house, mourning and with his head covered. 13 And Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of the Jewish people, you will not overcome him but will surely fall before him.”

14 While they were yet talking with him, the king's eunuchs arrived and hurried to bring Haman to the feast that Esther had prepared. (ESV)

KJ-52 Lyrics
God Is In Control Lyrics

(… information what is the truth)
(the data don’t compute we need more information to find out what is the truth)
(we need more information to find out what is the truth)

You did the math
Yes
And
The data don’t compute
we need more information to find out what is the truth
but ya got my life in details right up there upon your screen
correct but all your actions don’t always show what they mean
like what
your heart
huh
explain what makes it tick
where do you find the strength to fight and not to call it quits
how do you overcome it?
What’s the riddle of the lamb?
Ok now don’t get overheated I’ll try to help you understand.
From the days of Ultra-man and G-Force
To present times it seems like it’s my dime to see the courses that are laid out
In front of eyes that survey routes
out and about while I wear the armor that can slay doubt
Lord bless
Its good to play the game of chess
And strive until the end instead of feeling that repress (where)
Often running
From the truth thats coming stunning
and to undermine the cunning while the mockingbird goes humming
to a different tune
but what’s the meaning of the riddle
you say the sky is falling like your name is chicken-
-little do you know my role
the toll and ante for the glory
Nor the wisdom of the ages for the stages of the stories that are
Underway (but)
A soldier is what you is portray
To burn them London bridges
they will fall down anyway.
Cuz everywhere I look (what)
Anothers wiping off their specs
Claiming they larynyx
And reading from a false text.
My complex
what’ll make me think i cannot take it
My inner eye can see realities that are so naked
But that’s in ya head
No, Cuz I fast the clearing shed
But since ya say your fat
Because my spirit be getting fed
By the words of life
Distractions come aplenty
Ta pay dem ugly bills is why i need that pretty penny
Oh but then that
My spirits training for the fighting
In the lost world
Word to Michael Crichton
Can I get down
By the way I come from Philly town
With thoughts upon the king
And in the race to win a crown,
My skills found
To rip the game another quarter
I try to bring it righteous so a smile ain’t out of order
Hanging with my peers
A vision made me shed tears
But that goes back to the days when I was young working at Sears
Why?
Because I saw It then
What?
Though it’s not quite as clear as now
Its all about about the faith and yo that thing above the brow
Can get in the way
The brain is often too confused
Some say life is a game
But a game is something you can lose
If you choose not
On having Yahweh as your friend
What?
With Jesus by my side against all odds I’m gonna win
And I’m gonna invest
Sometimes I’m heading to the nest
To rest from all the stress that comes from battles with the flesh
Plus to get blessed
Directions I be needing
To go against the one that brought about the rape of Eden
Don’t you get the jist
Yes
You think the Chief Illusionist
Is tricky and the crew was making us think he don’t exist
The Devil walks free
With glee
Leading the blind
With twisted aspirations bordered on the asinine
What?
So invest in God your mind divinely because my friend it be
What?
In your best interest that you gets to know your enemy
And you will see
What?
We be heading for war
The likes of which man today has never seen before
I stand in awe
Of the raw and written page
The breakdown of the world shows that the ending of an age
Is coming
The Son and
Glory that be sunning
Will have the angels humming
The chief drummer will drum it
A new day with the Heavans broken up and rearranged
Instantly the Christian family caught in the air and changed
What in the tree
Wake up those ya hold dear
Just take a look at nature screaming time is coming near
Reality be superficial
What is make-believe?
To give birth to truth, desire, must be conceived
Huh?
Allow Me
To shoot the gift of gab again
Some say the Anti-Christ will rise up out the Vatican
Yeah, connected to the EU
Precipitate disorder
One religion, one currency and one new world order
Talking about peace and we can all get along
But it was written we can’t until the evil one is gone
So say that your wrong
Some just look at me and yawn
Living life like a pawn
It’s also what the word has spawn
They ignore
Don’t even know they got a score
Now matter the day, but the battle belongs to the lord
That’s interesting
What about the path of a psychic?
Deuteronomy 18 says my Daddy he don’t like it
Ok that’s fine
Just one more question then i’ll drop it
Just tell what’s the difference between a psychic and a prophet
Well, a prophet gets the word from God through the Holy Spirit
And?
A psychic receives it from evil spirits that be near it.
It sounds cold
It’s a battle for lost souls
Salvation’s in the blood so know that GOD IS IN CONTROL (right)
Self-edification Is the reason I be rapping
Non-believers say
If God exists, how could he let it happen?
I tell him this
Our thoughts ain’t like his
The faith of a child can just accept it like it is
But man be on a quest to rule the world by they hand
Giving commands when they don’t even understand
The spiritual
It’s such a shame what we be doing
Now what do you think?
I think I’m glad I’m not a human
Let’s roll, be no longer a lost soul
Although we live in chaos
God Is in control
Let’s roll
Self-edification is the reason I be rapping
Let’s roll
Be no longer a lost soul
Be no longer a lost soul
Though we live in chaos
