Lent (Acrostic)
A time when my Lord went to ground
Before his disciples were found.
Crossing the desert for miles
Defeating the enemy’s wiles.
Eschewing all nourishing food
Fasting would do him some good.
Getting both hungry and weak
Having no troubles to seek
Intending to honour our God
Judging by us it seems odd.
King of the world brought so low
Learning so much, even so.
Matching his words to his deeds
Not meeting his base human needs
Outwitting the devils temptation
Picking each quotation
Quoting scripture as a shield
Refusing every chance to yield
Surviving satan’s plots with scorn
Temptation fading with the morn
Unbending, unyielding and strong
Valiantly doing no wrong.
Worthy of all of our praise
eXcelling through all forty days
Your Saviour did all God could ask
Zeroing in on his task!
