“40 Days” Song Lyrics

From the album, Broken & Beautiful, by Mark Schultz

(Mark Schultz / Ben Glover)
Lord, I came to the mountaintop
To be with You
I felt Your grace falling down like rain
And I was made new
But there are times like now when I’m all dried out
(Chorus)
And it’s like 40 days out in the desert
Feeling like I’m lost forever
And crying out for You
But in these 40 days I’m going to seek You
With my heart because I believe You
Have brought me to this place
These 40 days
Lord, Your ways are not my own
But I trust You
Lord, You say, “You are not alone,
For I am with you”
But there are times like now when You can’t be found
(Chorus)
‘Cause You are with me
You never leave me
Even when my world turns upside down
‘Cause there are times like now when I will
Trust somehow
(Chorus)
Well, there is a light at the end of the tunnel…I know

Mark Schultz Being a songwriter is like having a special license to explore the world and take your audience along on the journey. Some writers prefer to look no further than their own experiences, plumbing the depths of their souls for songs. Some intently observe the parade of life swirling around them and capture stories from other people’s lives. Singer/songwriter Mark Schultz is equally skilled at both approaches. It’s a gift he demonstrates yet again on his latest Word Records collection “Broken and Beautiful.”
