[Verse 1] Ahasuerus promotes Haman the Agagite above all the princes. Mordecai alone refuses to bow or do reverence. Mordecai identifies himself to them as a Jew. Haman sees Mordecai remain upright and becomes filled with wrath. [Pre-Chorus] The warning stood where no one wished to see, And every hidden root became a tree. [Chorus] A Decree for One Appointed Day, let the warning remain, Hidden sin still flowers into pain. The word of the LORD exposed what men concealed, And judgment stood where every heart was revealed. [Verse 2] The lot falls upon the twelfth month, Adar. Haman describes the Jews as scattered people with different laws. He accuses them of refusing the king's laws and harming royal interests. Ahasuerus removes his signet ring and gives it to Haman. [Bridge] Scribes write the command in every provincial script and language. The decree is sealed in the king's name with the royal ring. Posts carry orders to kill all Jews in one day and seize their possessions. Haman and the king sit down to drink while the city of Shushan is perplexed. [Final Chorus] A Decree for One Appointed Day, let the warning remain, Hidden sin still flowers into pain. The word of the LORD exposed what men concealed, And judgment stood where every heart stood revealed. [Outro] The warning did not vanish with the dust. The final line remembered judgment, fear, and trust.
