40 Days

40 days to wander
40 days to die to self
40 days to grow stronger
As faith breaks open the gates of hell

The Jubilee is over
But grace is far from gone
In the hearts of the faithful
Broken on the wheels of love

In the desert of temptation
Lies the storm of true conversion
Where springs of living water
Drown and refresh you
And as the Jordan pours out change
Your true self is all that remains
Where springs of living water
Bind and break you
Bind and break you

40 days to remember
The Paschal sacrifice
40 days to discover
As passion calls us to new life

The Jubilee is over
But mercy is far from gone
In the arms of the Father
As the wayward child comes home

In the desert of temptation
Lies the storm of true conversion
Where springs of living water
Drown and refresh you
And as the Jordan pours out change
Your true self is all that remains
Where springs of living water
Bind and break you
Bind and break you
Bind and break you
Bind and break you
