40 days is what God asks
40 minutes is what God desires
Getting started is what matters
Finishing is what counts

God, must I pray for others?
I learnt to be selfless
God, is that you speaking?
I learnt to listen
God, must I make the change?

I learnt to let go
God, must I strive on?
I learnt to persevere

40 days journey with God
Ended with heartfelt gratitude
It's not the end
But a beginning of adventure
With God who loves me.
