40 Sleepless Nights

Dear Lord

It has been 40 days

And 40 sleepless nights

Dear Lord

We've all been praying hard

For something to go right

Dear Lord

We've learned our lesson now

You can clear the flood

Bring us doves and olive leaves

And rainbows from above

Dear Lord

Haven't they passed your test

And shown You of their faith?

Unwavering and never faltering

No matter what You take away

Dear Lord

I'm trying very hard

To trust in Your divine plan

Dear Lord

Why did they have to die

For the sins of their fellow man?

Dear Lord

Are You a just God?

Will they get what they deserve?

Dear Lord

I pray You bless them

And show them all Your worth

Dear Lord

It has been 40 days

And 40 sleepless nights

They've proven they're Your children

So protect them with Your light
