40 Days Lyrics

An ark being built for a future unseen

Facing ridicule from people steeped in sin

The purging begins with waves so big

Noah and his own, with the chosen shall live

Water surrounds and lashes on all sides

Mountains submerged and lives blotted out

Hope dawned with a dove carrying the olive leaves

Showed faith in God greater than human belief

Forty days and forty nights

The clouds have parted and we see the skies

A new beginning and a brand new life

In forty days and forty nights

And when we were held in captivity

A man came by who could part the Red sea

Across the wilderness to the vast unknown

Looking for a place we could all call home

Almost became one with the shifting sands

A nation searching for the promised land

We fought and we won, and we lost and we died

We almost thought we had been believing a lie

Forty years of wandering

We reached the Promised Land Oh yeah we did

A great and mighty nation was built

In forty years of wandering

And for the pain we've all been through

The respite we thought was overdue

We know now that it is around the bend

This thing called hope on what we stand

The Son of Man in the wilderness

Tempted by none other than the devil himself

Showed us that everything is possible for us

Through Jesus Christ, through him who strengthens us

Forty days and forty nights

Get on your feet and fight, fight the good fight

For a new beginning and a brand new life

In forty days and forty nights
