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?
