Hymn based on Temptations narrative (Based on Matthew 4:1-11) for First Sunday of Lent
The Tempter:
“You are the Son of God.
These stones will meet your need.
With pow’r divine, you can from dust
give bread the world to feed.”
Jesus:
“The Word of God goes out
and in my flesh now lives.
As bread eternal, love alone
for all, my Body gives.”
The Tempter:
“You are the Son of God,
Beloved from on high.
What angels can resist the call
to save you when you cry?”
Jesus:
“My Father’s love I trust.
No temple e’er so tall
can rise above the Cross I bear
which through that love draws all.”
