Lenten Season

It's time for us to contemplate And search our mortal souls And ask repentance for our sins Created long ago For 40 days and 40 nights The wilderness He faced He sought the solitude He'd get Withdrawn from human race He thought of all the things He's done Relived His blessed life And asked why all these things would cause Such anger and such strife He fasted all these forty days Prayed hard and looked above Then He returned to His devoted twelve With adoring endless love His countenance was changed you see He knew His coming fate His entourage was quickly formed And passed through Jerusalem's gate He rode upon a donkey Through a loving cheering throng Not one who waived a Palm for Him Thought anything was wrong Some cried "Hosanna" just for Him He smiled for all to see As onward He continued To meet His destiny Now is the time for us to go On solemn bended knee And bless this fasting Lenten Time Forgiveness is our plea!
