More about Lisa Bradshaw:
Since a young age, I have loved listening to, performing, and creating music. I have co-written most of my music with my mother, Shirley Riley, who passed away a few years ago. She was a very talented lyricist and poet as well as musician and I miss her dearly. I have also collaborated with a very talented lyricist and singer, Tim Dalton Morganson, on many children's songs that you will find on this website. We hope you enjoy using them! I have a music degree from Utah State University, served a Spanish speaking mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to San Diego, Ca., and taught full-time Seminary at Bingham and Clearfield High schools. I currently have a piano studio in my home and continue to write music. My husband and I have 5 beautiful children and 6 darling grandsons.

Song background:

I was Stake Young Women's President and we were getting ready to go on a pioneer trek. We wanted our youth to know that they, like the pioneers and others throughout history, could do hard things; that they were born for such a time as this because God knew them and what they could accomplish. This song came from these thoughts and we had a group of youth sing it on our trek.

Lyrics: We were born for such a time as this.
Rise and shout, we are God's great army.
We have faith, like those of old.
Our own story will be told.
We were born, for such a time as this.

God knew that Daniel could handle the lion's den.
He knew that Esther could stop cruel Haman.
Pioneers left their lands, and they followed God's plan.
He chose the time and the place.
They had the faith for what they faced.

We were born for such a time as this.
Rise and shout, we are God's great army.
We have faith, like those of old.
Our own story will be told.
We were born for such a time as this.

Faith of a mother kept Moses from being seen.
David had courage to fight a Philistine.
Joseph Smith gave his life. Emma, too, sacrificed.
Although their lives were at stake,
They knew that God would not forsake.

We were born for such a time as this.
Rise and shout, we are God's great army.
We have faith, like those of old.
Our own story will be told.
We were born for such a time as this.
