(\'Fight the good fight\')
Matthew 4 v.1-4
********
Jesus\' time of temptation
In the wilderness, three (temptations), not one
Led of the Spirit to go there
For forty days and nights did bear
He has fasted, and was hungry
The tempter, devil, said did he
If you the Son of God true be
Command these stones be made bread, see
Jesus replied, Man shall live not
By bread alone, but this their lot
That they shall live by every word
From mouth of God, it can be heard
Help us, Lord, that our appetite
Selfish, with your strength may we fight
Not give in to ease, greedy gain
But follow you in love unfeign
Though temptations severe for you
You did not yield, you did not do
What lies if th devil did speak
But obeyed Father, humble, meek
