Temptation
When You were racked with hunger and had a raging thirst
The devil came to tempt You and tried to do his worst.
You knew Your Father’s purpose and the road you had to tread
You might have been forgiven for accepting drink and bread!
Who was there to blame You if You took the easy way?
Yet you never faltered. A heavy price to pay.
You knew that You would suffer our torture and our scorn
When they crucified You on that fateful Friday morn.
You knew that You would take the blame for all our sin and
shame
And nothing in this world You made would ever be the same!
You opened up our path to God and paid the price that we
Should cast off satan’s fetters and live, forever, free!
Thank You Lord for taking our burden as Your own
And resisting all temptation so we could see Your throne.
And though our earthly lot may be to suffer pain and strife
We know that you have won for us our own eternal life.
