Matt Maher - 40 Days Lyrics






Forty days to wander
Forty days to die to self
Forty days to grow stronger
As faith breaks open the gates of hell
The jubilee is over
But grace is far from gone
In the hearts of the faithful
Broken on the wheels of love

'Cause in the desert of temptation
Lies the storm of true conversion
Where springs of living water drown and refresh you
And as the Jordan pours out change
Your true self is all that remains
Where springs of living water bind and break you
Bind and break you

Forty days to remember
The Paschal Sacrifice
Forty days to discover
His passion calls us to new life
The jubilee is over
But mercy's far from gone
In the arms of the Father
As the wayward child comes home

'Cause in the desert of temptation
Lies the storm of true conversion
Where springs of living water drown and refresh you
And as the Jordan pours out change
Your true self is all that remains
Where springs of living water bind and break you
Bind and break you

Bind and break you
Bind and break you

    Is the Christ Math Maher sings about the same Christ in the Bible? It matters as only the true Christ saves. Maher is a catholic and union with them is apostasy. Jesus is God, He is the only mediator between God and man, He died on the cross, was buried, and rose again on the third day. Believe in the Lord Jesus and be saved.

    Catholics believe that you are not justified by faith alone besides all the other false teachings. Come out from babylon and be seperate. Please repent of your sins, Jesus has a day set for the judgment of sin.

    "For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us; not that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another— He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation." Hebrews 9:24-28

    Like the message but am wondering if there is more on the thought of having the Tempter represented by a mirror image of Christ.

    jesus was warned that in 40 days they will catch him

    J.... C....

    @Jo-bert van deventer When you say "they" whose they?

    J.... C....

    @Jo-bert van deventer Just before His ministry began Jesus was fasting for 40 days and nights in the wilderness and was tempted by devil. Jesus responded to every temptation with scriptures. that is what is this song about- fight devil and overcome temptations and then victory is yours.

    Matt Maher has a heavy folk-blues influence, so I'm not sure there's a ton out there who have a similar sound, but you can try this list.

    Sarah Hart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBecGxKmEKM I like to think she's actually southern because of her country-folk style and gentle-but-still-ironic lyrics

    Tabitha Lemaire (similar to some 90's angry girl-with-a guitar-type-sound, except she's yearning, not angry) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js6EQVE_nL8

    Matt Mangione and the Union
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugCokbSb9XM

    Audrey Asaad favors comforting, yet haunting melodies, but this is one of her lullabies.

    That's all well and good that you read the bible and took from it what you did. In reality though you cannot live without food and water for 40 days. The whole point of this along with most bible stories is to drive home the moral teaching embedded in the story, which of course is that we should resist evil temptation regardless of the situation and that lent is a time of sacrifice and reflection.
