Jesus Forever the Victor - Matthew 4: 8-10
The devil is prowling around
seeking to be God luring whoever
he is a fallen angel who sought victory
but he faced the victor who did deliver
Satan took Jesus up so very high
there to show him kingdoms all over
even to point out their very glory
but Jesus knew it all with a deep sigh
Many people don't believe in the devil
not a personal one like scripture declares
but Jesus shows here how real he is
so claiming the victory over his dares
Satan tempts Jesus to bow down
and to worship this evil spirit alone
offering God's son all He already has
but Jesus being God needed no loan
Jesus showed His unlimited power
telling the evil one to go away
to serve and worship the living God
the only one to bow before even today
(8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written,
“‘You shall worship the Lord your God
and him only shall you serve.’”)
Matthew 4: 8-10(ESV)
