[Verse] Forty days of quiet Hearts align with skies Setting down the heavy Clearing out the lies Stepping into daylight Souls begin to mend Finding Him in silence Where your roads don't bend [Verse 2] Breaking bread in whispers Fasting from the noise Hearing every echo of His still small voice Through the barren desert Love begins to grow Every sacrifice we make Our Savior's light will show [Chorus] Oh these forty days A sacred kind of flame Burning all that's empty Leaving just His name With every trifle given up We’re drawing nearer still His grace in our surrender The power of His will [Verse 3] Tears that fall like rainfall to wash the weary land Prayers that rise like incense All Carried in His hands The things we thought would feed us Are chains that we now break In fasting and in knowing Our Love begins to wake [Bridge] Courage in each moment Faith through every test Letting go of all things To find a greater rest Joy is in our hunger Peace within our lack With each loss His promise calls us to come back [Chorus] Oh these forty days A sacred kind of flame Burning all that's empty Leaving just His name With every trifle given up We’re drawing nearer still His grace in our surrender The power of His will
