Lent - A Season of Reflection Countdown 2 is similar to Lent Scripture Countdown with a change of layout and color. It draws from nine verses in Joel 2, and is a solemn call to encourage the brokenhearted among God's people, for He hears their repentance, delivers them, and gives His Kingdom to such as these. It is ideal for this season of Lent in services dealing with repentance, grace, and restoration. The track is a subtle rendering of 'Awake My Soul' by Salt of Sound.
