From the recording The Call: To Know, Love, and Serve
Lyrics
Forty days and forty nights we are called to sacrifice. In our acts of charity, our lives become your mercy.
We see Christ in every face: the poor and hungry, those who knock upon our door, the lonely, may we wrap them in your peace.
Wash away with waves of change the sins that bind us. So that after forty days, you'll find us resting in your arms.
We glory in your cross, O Jesus crucified. As we share in your pain, we are glorified. Through Christ we are set free.
