Away from me Satan

A man walking in the distance in the desert place

no one can hear him, no one can clearly see his face

but then you look again and see something clear

its the devil whispering to him in his ear

40 days and 40 nights the man walks alone

no food no water he wastes away dry to the bone

the devil offers bread but to his dismay

the man turns the devils offer away

the man said

away from me, satan

away from me, satan now!

on top of the temple the wind is gushing all around

Satan asks the man to throw himself to the ground

the Son of God denies the devil’s request

Never put the Lord your God to the test

on top of the world the devil says ‘bow down to me

and i will give you everything that you can see

the whole earth and it’s splendor will all be yours

from the distant golden lands and the shining shores’

and Christ said

away from me, Satan

away from me, Satan now!

this is going to be a pretty sweet song.
