Forty Days of Lent

Lent is the most Holy of times
Giving up many foods and wines

The solom observance of paying homage to Christ
In some Devine, way offering my small Sacrfice

The ordnance began many ages ago
Out of reverence of our Christ being tempted so

For forty days and forty nights in the wilderness, He stayed
Being tempted by the devil and fasting while he prayed

At the end of this time, He was hungry and ate
He outlasted the devil and overcame evil knowing his fate

I can only bow my heart and say
Thank you God for Your Sacrifice I pray

Luk 4:1  Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
Luk 4:2  where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.
