4The Temptation and Ministry of Jesus

[Intro: Gentle Acoustic Guitar and Soft Strings] Verse 1: The Temptation in the Wilderness Jesus led by the Spirit to the desert wide, Forty days and nights, fasting by His side. The tempter came, said, “Turn these stones to bread,” But Jesus answered, with words He boldly said, Chorus: [chorus: uplifting and harmonic, choral harmonies] “Man shall not live by bread alone, But by every word from God's throne.” In the wilderness, tested and tried, With the Word of God as His guide. Verse 2: The Second Temptation The devil took Him to the temple's peak, “If You are God's Son, jump, let angels speak.” But Jesus replied, “Do not test the Lord,” Trust in His promise, stand on His Word. Chorus: [chorus: uplifting and harmonic, choral harmonies] “Man shall not live by bread alone, But by every word from God's throne.” In the wilderness, tested and tried, With the Word of God as His guide. Bridge: The Final Temptation [ambient sounds: soft echoes, gentle flute, harp] The devil showed Him kingdoms far and wide, “All this I'll give, if You bow,” he cried. But Jesus said, “Away from me, Worship God alone, only Him you'll see.” Verse 3: Beginning His Ministry Jesus heard of John, in prison confined, He moved to Galilee, His purpose defined. In Capernaum by the sea, He made His home, Fulfilling Isaiah's prophecy, light had come. Chorus: [chorus: uplifting and harmonic, choral harmonies] “Repent, the Kingdom of Heaven is near, Follow Me, have no fear.” In the wilderness, tested and tried, With the Word of God as His guide. Verse 4: Calling the Disciples By the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, “Follow Me, fishers of men, I’ll make you.” They left their nets, at His call, James and John, left their boats and all. Chorus: [chorus: uplifting and harmonic, choral harmonies] “Repent, the Kingdom of Heaven is near, Follow Me, have no fear.” In the wilderness, tested and tried, With the Word of God as His guide. Bridge: Healing and Teaching [bridge: reflective and serene, ancient Jewish melodies] [ambient sounds: soft echoes, gentle flute, harp] Jesus taught in synagogues, the good news proclaimed, Healing every disease, lifting every pain. From Syria, they came, the sick and the weak, Demons cast out, His power unique. Final Chorus: [chorus: uplifting and harmonic, choral harmonies] “Repent, the Kingdom of Heaven is near, Follow Me, have no fear.” In the wilderness, tested and tried, With the Word of God as His guide.
