1
The devil went down to the Jordan
2
He was lookin' for a show to steal
3
He was in a bind 'cause Jesus came to find
4
The people willing to make it real
5
And he came across the Son of Man
6
Saw Him in the desert and prayin' to God
7
Then the devil jumped upon the chance to tempt Him
8
Said, "Boy, let me tell ya, it's hot"
9
"I guess you wouldn't show it but I can tell you're cravin' food
10
And kid I'm scared this desert air might get the best of you
11
Now you ain't been eatin' your vittles boy
12
But now, your dinner is due
13
So if you're really God's son, then turn these stones
14
To bread and I'll butter it for you"
15
The Lord said, "I am hungry but that would be a sin
16
'Cause it ain't by bread man's gonna be fed
17
But by the word God's given him"
18
John the Baptist washed the Lord and there's where it all starts
19
'Cause Jesus left the Jordan and the devil hit Him hard
20
And if He wins we get to walk on Heaven's streets of gold
21
But if He sins the devil gets your soul
22
The devil took Him up in space and said, "Why don't You throw
23
Yourself off of this temple top as I watch You from below
24
'Cause I'm sure You know that God will send
25
All His angels to assist and man would believe that You are Him
26
If the saw You did somethin' like this"
27
When the devil finished, Jesus said
28
"Well, you're temptin' God, old son
29
And it's written down in that book right there
30
That thing should never be done"
31
Shout from the mountain what God's done
32
The devil ain't a match for the rising Son
33
You can never tempt God, did you not know
34
Man, he doesn't live by bread alone
35
The devil finally said, "Jesus, if You'll just worship me
36
Then I'll give you gold that glitters
37
Every crown and all You see"
38
Jesus said, "Devil, just turn on back
39
'Cause I'm never gonna buy your scam
40
I love God too much, I'm gonna resist
41
I suggest you'd better scram" and we say
42
Shout from the mountain what God's done
43
The devil ain't a match for the rising Son
44
You can never tempt God, did you not know
45
Man, he doesn't live by bread alone
