IT IS WRITTEN

A truly epic battle was at hand;

The Lord Jesus came to fulfil God’s plan.

He began His ministry in prayer and fasting;

Satan was determined to do his work of tempting.

 

The Enemy used every bit of cunning he possessed;

The Lord Jesus would have to be strong, though harassed.

He would have to find strength to resist every temptation;

He had come to bring about Man’s needed redemption.

 

“It is written,” the Lord Jesus proclaimed;

God’s Word bears the authority of God’s name.

With the Word of God, Satan was resisted effectively;

The Lord Jesus remained true to God steadfastly!

 

“It is written” must also be the way we seek to live;

The Word of God must be truly well-received.

Let us determine to hide God’s word in our heart;

Therein is great power that God wishes to impart.
