Apologetix Devil Went Down To Jordan Lyrics

Devil Went Down To Jordan Lyrics

The devil went down to the Jordan 
He was lookin' for a show to steal 
He
was in a bind 'cause Jesus came to find 
The people willing to make it real


And he came upon the Son of Man 
Saw Him in the desert and prayin'
to God 
Then the devil jumped upon the chance to tempt Him 
Said,
"Boy, let me tell ya, it's hot!" 

"I guess you wouldn't
show it, but I can tell you're cravin' food 
"And kid I'm scared this
desert air might get the best of you 
"Now you ain't been eatin' your
vittles boy 
"But now, your dinner is due 
"So if you're really
God's son, then turn these stones 
To bread and I'll butter it for you."


The Lord said, "I am hungry, but that would be a sin

"Cause it ain't by bread man's gonna be fed 
"But by the Word
God's given him." 

John the Baptist washed the Lord and there's
where it all starts 
Cause Jesus left the Jordan and the devil hit Him hard

And if He wins we get to walk on Heaven's streets of gold 
But if He
sins the devil gets your soul 

The devil took Him up in space and said,
"Why don't You throw 
"Yourself off of this temple top as I watch
You from below 
"Cause I'm sure You know that God will bring

"All His angels to assist 
"And man would believe that You are
Him 
"If the saw you did somethin' like this" 

When the
devil finished, Jesus said 
"Well, you're temptin' God, old son

"And it's written down in that book right there 
"That thing
should never be done" 

Shout from the mountain what God's done

The devil ain't a match for the rising Son 
You can never tempt God, did
you not know 
Man, he doesn't live by bread alone 

The devil finallly
said, "Jesus, if You'll just worship me 
"Then I'll give you gold
that glitters 
"All these crowns, and all You see" 

Jesus
said, "Devil, just turn on back 
"Cause I'm never gonna buy your
scam 
"I love God too much, I'm gonna resist 
"I suggest you'd
better scram!" 
And we say 

Shout from the mountain what God's
done 
The devil ain't a match for the rising Son 
You can never tempt
God, did you not know 
Man, he doesn't live by bread alone
