Temptation Site
Temptation Site
Into the Wilderness
40 days, 40 nights
Ahungered, weak
The temptation site
He heard a voice
Look there, a stone
Command it bread
Your belly groans
Get thou behind me Satan
Your tempt I have heard
Not by bread alone
But by God's every word
So the word of God
Jesus already knows
This time maybe try
To twist how it goes
Behold this high point
To God's angels call
Afterall, God did say
He wouldn't let you fall
No Devil, it is written
The Lord thou shall not tempt
Get thou behind me Satan
You fail your second attempt
Hmmph, lets try this again
To a time and place we'll go
Great wealth, riches, goods
No one could possibly say no
On your knees Jesus
Just one time worship me
All that is in this world
It is mine, I'll give it all to thee
Get thou behind me Satan
God alone, him alone do I serve
Your sentence sealed
Your punishment reserved
It is only to God
To God I bow my knee
Third strike, your out
Satan, get thee behind me
And after this
Did the devil flee
Christ our Lord
Beginning his ministry
My hopes you've enjoyed
The view in which I write
Of Christ our Lord
In the Temptation Site
