And He said ole' Satan be gone Chorus: Jesus was tempted in the desert forty days Jesus was tempted in the desert forty days Jesus was tempted in the desert forty days And He said ole' Satan be gone Oh the Spirit led my Jesus to the desert one day Ole' Satan tried to tempt Him every possible way My Lord was starvin', He was hungry, and then ole' Satan said "If you be God's Son, turn these stones to bread" The devil took my Jesus to a high place on the earth Ole' Satan tempted Him with all the kingdoms and their worth The devil said to Him "all of this I give to thee If you only bow down and worship me" Repeat Chorus Satan led to the temple and he set Him way up high It was here he told the Lord "If you jump you will not die" And then the angels will come down if you truly are God's Son "If you give in to me, ole' Satan has won" Now we know Christ answered Satan, he said "man lives not on bread alone" He also told the devil, "worship God and God alone" He said "don't tempt your Lord," my Jesus truly passed the test If we follow His example our reward will be the best Repeat Chorus And He said ole' Satan be gone Be gone!
