Lord, save me from empty lent abstinence Protect me from light hearted choco-resistance And stir in me longer-lasting adherence A dig down deeper ringing resonance That falls in step with your quiet insistence to follow a path of greater resilience.
Lord, save me from a temporary temperance And lend me your eternal Spirit of endurance That I might take lent as a growth accelerant And so hold my head higher in your post-Easter presence.
