Beat The Devil Lyrics - Singles - The Statler Brothers

{Then Jesus was lead by the spirit into the wilderness 

To be tempted by the Devil} 

In the wilderness Jesus stayed 

Forty nights and forty days 

The Devil came in all his sin 

Came to tempt even Him 

Said, "I hear tell You're God's Son 

But You get hungry like anyone 

So if You're what they've all said 

Then turn these rocks, Jesus to bread" 

By the Word of God, man was shown 

He can't live by bread alone 

Jesus said it's written down 

The Devil lost the first round 

The Devil took Him to the temple roof 

Said, "Son of God I want some proof 

If You've got Angels to see You through 

Then jump down Jesus, I bet they'll catch You" 

Jesus said, "Scriptures record 

Thou shall not tempt the Lord 

Look it up it's written down 

The Devil lost the second round" 

Up on this mountain far as You see 

All these things, I'll give to Thee 

If You'll fall down on Your knees 

Jesus Christ and worship me 

"It's written down," He said again 

"Worship God and only Him" 

The Devil left and the Angels came 

He beat the Devil at his own game 

He beat the Devil at his own game
