Verse 1: Out in the desert, for forty days and nights Jesus felt the hunger, and the devil came to fight Offered him bread, and a life of earthly fame But Jesus stood strong, and said "It is written, man shall not live by bread alone" Chorus: Oh, the temptation of Jesus, in the wilderness The devil tried to break him, but he never gave in He showed us strength and faith, in the face of adversity Oh, the temptation of Jesus, in the wilderness Verse 2: Then the devil showed him, all the kingdoms of the world Said "They can be yours, if you'll bow down to me" But Jesus knew better, he said "Get thee behind me Satan" For only the Lord thy God, shalt thou worship and serve Chorus: Oh, the temptation of Jesus, in the wilderness The devil tried to break him, but he never gave in He showed us strength and faith, in the face of adversity Oh, the temptation of Jesus, in the wilderness Bridge: Now when we're faced with trials, and our faith is put to the test We can remember Jesus, and the way he stood his ground We'll find the strength within us, to resist temptation's call And with the Lord by our side, we can conquer all Chorus: Oh, the temptation of Jesus, in the wilderness The devil tried to break him, but he never gave in He showed us strength and faith, in the face of adversity Oh, the temptation of Jesus, in the wilderness.
