It is a time of preparation
For a very special day.
(There will be lots of celebration)
It is just 40 days away.

It is a time of fast and prayer,
As thanksgiving to the Lord;
All must have something to offer
‘Fore the return of the Word.

Then we will remember the Passion and Cross,
The day that Our Lord Jesus died,
And then the Resurrection, Satan’s loss,
When He conquered all sins of pride.
