Lent 1st: O Lord Throughout These Forty Days - CBW III 367

Join us on a musical journey through the Seasons of Christ: Lent & Easter.

O Lord Throughout These Forty Days (1562nd year of our Lord.)

O Lord throughout these forty days,
You prayed and kept the fast.
Inspire repentance for our sin,
And free us from our past.

You fought with Satan and you won,
Your faithfulness endured.
Give us your strength, your skill, your trust,
In God's eternal word.

Though parched and hungry, yet you prayed,
And fixed your eyes above.
So teach us to deny ourselves,
That we may know God's love.

Be with us through this season Lord,
And all our earthly days.
That when the final Easter dawns,
We join in heaven's praise.
