The Tempter

Spinning, twisted human mind

Lust of riches, gold and sweet wine

Satisfy your every desire and need

Have a devil of a time - worship me

I possess full power and authority

Gifts of glory and precious things

Indulge your every desire and need

All will be yours this day - worship me

Silent voice echoing from heaven

Raining truth to rescue and free

Worship the Lord your God alone

My joy and peace will be given thee

The wilderness may wear on you

Hunger, thirst and temptation too

Ask that stone be turned to bread

A hardened heart must be fed

Seek first the Kingdom of the Father

Loosed from powers and principalities

Man lives not by earthly bread alone

Life giving "Flesh" shall lead you home

False messiahs and evil spirits reign

Leading so many to falter and stray

Misguided possessed minds go insane

The holy innocents perish by the way

Turn from evil - return to the "Word"

Place no trust in this passing world

Cast down sinfulness - return to me

"Love" always – the tempter will flee
