The devil went down to the Jordan
He was lookin for a show to steal
He was in a bind cause Jesus came to find
The people willing to make it real
And he came across the Son of Man
Saw Him in the desert and prayin to God
Then the devil jumped upon the chance to tempt Him
Said, Boy, let me tell ya, its hot!
I guess you wouldnt show it, but I can tell youre cravin food
And kid Im scared this desert air might get the best of you
Now you aint been eatin your vittles boy
But now, your dinner is due
So if youre really Gods son, then turn these stones
To bread and Ill butter it for you.
The Lord said, I am hungry, but that would be a sin
Cause it aint by bread mans gonna be fed
But by the Word Gods given him.
John the Baptist washed the Lord and theres where it all starts
Cause Jesus left the Jordan and the devil hit Him hard
And if He wins we get to walk on Heavens streets of gold
But if He sins the devil gets your soul
The devil took Him up in space and said, Why dont You throw
Yourself off of this temple top as I watch You from below
Cause Im sure You know that God will send
All His angels to assist
And man would believe that You are Him
If the saw you did somethin like this
When the devil finished, Jesus said
Well, youre temptin God, old son
And its written down in that book right there
That thing should never be done
Shout from the mountain what Gods done
The devil aint a match for the rising Son
You can never tempt God, did you not know
Man, he doesnt live by bread alone
The devil finallly said, Jesus, if Youll just worship me
Then Ill give you gold that glitters
Every crown, and all You see
Jesus said, Devil, just turn on back
Cause Im never gonna buy your scam
I love God too much, Im gonna resist
I suggest youd better scram!
And we say
Shout from the mountain what Gods done
The devil aint a match for the rising Son
You can never tempt God, did you not know
Man, he doesnt live by bread alone
