about

Luke 4:1-13 - Of course the Devil plays a ukulele...

lyrics

Hey you, there in the wilderness
You’re looking pretty ragged and hungry
Who am I? That’s not important
I’m your friend and not an adversary.
But you, you could feed all the world
You’re the Son of God, oh yes, I know.
And you can turn these stones to bread
Merely on the strength of your say-so.
Why don’t you just do it and all will be fed?
You say people do not just live on bread … alone
Not on bread alone.

Well I bet you care about justice
In a world that’s cruel and unfair!
It must really anger you
The suffering you meet everywhere.
Well I’ve got all of the kingdoms of the
World and I will give them to you.
In your perfect divinity
Think of how justly you’ll rule!
Oh and you must also bow before me!
But you say that you will worship only … the Lord
The God you serve.

One more time, I’ll get it right now
Come with me to a place that’s familiar.
Yes indeed, this is the tippy top of the temple
Oh, I can deliver!
Now you, you are the Son of God
We’ve established that as a fact.
If any harm ever came to you
God’s angels would all have to act.
Go ahead, jump off and hope for the best!
You tell me, you will not put your Lord to the test!

Well all right then, be that way
If that’s how you want it
I’ll leave, but I’m coming back
when you least expect it.
