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 upon the Son of Man
Saw Him in a desert 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, "Christ, why dont you throw
"Yourself off of this temple top as Im watch you below?
"Cause Im sure You know that God will send
“All His angels to assist
“And then men would believe that Youre Him
“If they saw You did something 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 shouldnt ever 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 finally said, "Jesus, if Youll just worship me
Then I’ll 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
Id 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
