Masterplan - 40 Days Lyrics

An ark being built for a future unseen
Facing ridicule from people steeped in sin
The purging begins with waves so big
Noah and his own, with the chosen shall live

Water surrounds and lashes on all sides
Mountains submerged and lives blotted out
Hope dawned with a dove carrying an olive leaf
Showed faith in God greater than human belief

Forty days and forty nights
The clouds have parted and we see the sky
A new beginning and a brand new life
In forty days and forty nights

And when we were held in captivity
A man came by who could part the sea
Across the wilderness to the vast unknown
Looked for a place we could call home

We almost became one with the shifting sands
A whole nation searching for the promised land
We fought and we won, and we lost and we died
We almost thought we had been believing a lie

Forty years of wandering
We reached the Promised Land Oh yeah we did!
A great and mighty nation was built
Forty years of wandering

And for the pain we nave all been through
The respite we thought was overdue
We now know that it is around the bend
This thing called hope on what we depend

The Son of Man in the wilderness
Tempted by none other than the devil himself
Showed us that everything is possible for us
Through Jesus Christ, through him who strengthens us

Forty days and forty nights
Get on your feet and fight, fight the good fight
For a new beginning and a brand new life
Forty days and forty nights
