He stepped into the wilderness
He was all by himself
Amidst snakes and scorpions
To be tempted
To be tried
To be provoked
To be ridiculed
He was all by himself
Forty long days
Forty long nights
/verse
He stepped into the wilderness
He was all by himself
Burdened by his earthly mission
Of seeking the lost
Of raising the dead
Of healing the sick
Of sacrificing Himself
He was all by himself
Forty long days
Forty long nights
/verse
Then came the tempter
Mocking and sneering
‘’He says he’s God
Can he make stone bread?
Can he bow for a glory?
Can he take a suicidal leap?”
But He endured all the heck
And would not give a break
Forty long days
Forty long nights
/verse
From the wilderness He hit the road
His messages brought full salvation
The miracles were beyond comprehension
Through the cross we gained redemption
He went to the grave to complete the rounds
Bringing freedom from death and hades
Now we know it’s worth the stress
The forty long days
The forty long nights
AMARA HOPE
