Marlou writes: "I had read 1 Thess. 5:5 and it really touched me. In July 2008 we were in a conference with Ana Mendez in Orlando. One night a prophetic song originated with these exact words. Back home I wanted to develop this into a full song and the rest of the lyrics came to me very quickly."

There’s a reason that we worship

There’s a reason that we sing

There’s a reason that we bow down

And give glory to our King

For from Him comes our existence

And in Him we find our life

Paid the highest price to save us

There’s no greater sacrifice

Chorus:

We belong to the Day

We belong to the Light

We belong to the King of Kings and

Lord of Lords, forever (2x)

We were born for such a time as this

There’s a calling on our lives

To bring freedom to the captives

Be victorious as we fight

We’ll defend the cause of widows

And for justice take a stand

Help the orphans and the poor ones

For the Kingdom is at hand

(Chorus)

You were born for such a time as this

There’s a calling on your life

To bring freedom to the captives

Be victorious as you fight

Will you defend the cause of widows

And for justice take a stand

Help the orphans and the poor ones

For the Kingdom is at hand

You Belong to the Day...
