Forty Days of Terror

We seek our prayers, we cannot fight
The demon comes out from the night
To us he issues horrid threats
He wants to take us all in death

The day at end, he comes again
We cannot pray, we're filled with pain
The giant's presence we can't abide
We only know God's on our side

Day after day, the jeers renew
These kind of threats we must eschew
The constant beating of his chest
We cannot bow to his request

Another night and day ensue
We cannot bear to see this through
The giant's boldness tests our resolve
We cannot let our hopes dissolve

For forty days he wears us down
Our leader's not worthy of the crown
Who will in fact meet in the fight
And return us all to the great light?
