Forty Days

Forty Days, with...without
They asked me to imagine my world without you
Just for Forty Days

You asked me to Love
That's all, to Love
Not to imagine
Not to hate
Not to fear
To Love
Forty Days times Forty times Forty...

I have never known a fear of my life without You
Your blessing, Your Grace bestowed unto me
Never a moment when I feared You gone
Or threaten to leave...
Forty Days

Forty Days You did without
Suffering more than that without hesitation
Blood and beatings
Humiliation and Hate
Tears and Fears for us the Easy People

father, my father, can you take these Forty
Pray for Love and Understanding
and put your fears away.
my Father, He loves me and Always Will
But it is you that I fear I will have to be without.
