FORTY DAYS
By Judy Alciatore
JESUS WALKED THE DESERT
SO MANY YEARS AGO
FORTY DAYS HE SACRIFICED
AND CARRIED ALL OUR WOES.
SO MANY YEARS AGO
FORTY DAYS HE SACRIFICED
AND CARRIED ALL OUR WOES.
IN THIS FORTY DAYS FOR LIFE
WE ASK YOU PLEASE TO PRAY
TAKE ONE SMALL STEP WITH JESUS
AND THEN GO ON YOUR WAY.
JESUS DIED SO WE MAY LIVE
HIS FOOTSTEPS NEVER STRAYED
PRAY FOR LIFE, AND IF YOU DO
A BABY MAY BE SAVED.
THERE IS POWER IN YOUR PRAYER
AND MERCY IN YOUR SONG
PRAY TO STOP ABORTION
AND WITH JESUS, WALK ALONG
THANK YOU, LORD!
