(Intro) Yeah... Forty days, forty years in the sand... Every trial held inside His hand. If you’re surrounded by the enemy, don’t fear... Look closer—the Lord our God is near. (Verse 1) Moses in the desert for forty long years, Learning how to lead through the struggles and tears. Forty days Jesus stood out in the waste, The devil brought temptations, tried to give Him a taste. "Turn these stones into bread," but the Savior stood firm, By the Word of the Lord, every lesson was learned. Forty isn't punishment, it’s where faith gets refined, Leaving doubts in the dust, leaving fear far behind. So when I'm in my wilderness and heat starts to rise, I know the Lord is shaping me right before my eyes. (Chorus) Lord, open up my eyes so that I can see, The heavenly hosts that are standing with me! Chariots of fire surrounding the hill, Those who are with us are greater still! I won't worry, I won't fear, The Lord our God is always near! Through the forty days or the forty-year ride, My King is standing right by my side! (Verse 2) Surrounded by an army, the servant felt dread, Saw the horses and the chariots and here’s what he said: "Oh master, what'll we do? We’re outnumbered today!" But Elisha looked up and began to pray: "Lord, open up his eyes, let him see what is real!" And suddenly the spiritual realm was revealed. The mountains were covered in horses of flame, Angels on standby in the Almighty's name! You don't gotta panic when the enemy appears, God promised His presence through all of your years. He never leaves your side, His word is the rock, He’s guarding every step and every hour on the clock. (Chorus) Lord, open up my eyes so that I can see, The heavenly hosts that are standing with me! Chariots of fire surrounding the hill, Those who are with us are greater still! I won't worry, I won't fear, The Lord our God is always near! Through the forty days or the forty-year ride, My King is standing right by my side! (Bridge) No fear in the valley (No fear!) No dread in the night (No dread!) What looks like an army is blind to His light! He promises peace, He promises grace, I'm walking in victory, beholding His face. (Outro) Yeah... Open our eyes, Lord. More are with us than are with them. Forty days... turned into victory. The Lord our God is near. Amen!
