Moses and Lent
By Larry Linville
Moses led God’s children
toward a great promised land.
When they finally got there
they found it was so grand.
The forty years they traveled
required great dedication
before they reached the blessing
they went through great frustration.
Lent is a forty day quest
with much sacrifice and search.
Instead of living in a desert
we spend much time at church.
They followed Moses each day
through all the thick and thin.
We follow just as they did
with a promised land to win.
The manna and the quail
sustained them on their quest
just as God provides for us
as we daily face each test.
