Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 From the water of the Jordan, with the Spirit like a dove He heard the Father’s witness and the promise of His love But the Spirit led the Savior to a dry and desert land Forty days of hunger in the heat and shifting sand The tempter came a-whispering when the sun was sinking low "If Thou be the Son of God, let these stones to bread-loaves grow." Chorus But man shall not live by the bread of earth alone By every word of God, the truth is made known Through the fire and the hunger, the victory is won From the silence of the desert comes the power of the Son. Verse 2 He was led up to a mountain, saw the kingdoms in a glance The devil said, "I’ll give it all, if You’ll give me just one dance If You’ll bow the knee in worship, all this glory shall be Thine" But Jesus felt the Spirit and He drew a holy line "Get thee behind me, Satan!"—the scripture stood its ground "Thou shalt worship God alone, where the only praise is found." Verse 3 Then they stood upon the temple, on the highest pinnacle stone "Cast Thyself down headlong, if the Father guards His own For the angels have a charge to keep Your feet from every bruise" But the Wisdom of the Ages had a different path to choose "It is written," said the Master, "thou shalt not tempt the Lord" And the enemy retreated from the sharp and two-edged sword. Bridge The devil left Him for a season, the trial had reached its end And angels came from heaven with a healing touch to lend Not a moment was wasted, not a single step was vain For the strength of the resistance broke the ancient heavy chain. Verse 4 (The Return) And Jesus went to Galilee, the Spirit’s power in His hand The news of Him went out like fire throughout the surrounding land He taught within the synagogues, and every voice gave praise The Light had left the wilderness to set the world ablaze. Outro In the power of the Spirit... From the desert to the hill... The Word has stood the testing, And the Word is standing still.
