Lyrics The Statler Brothers

The Statler Brothers

Beat 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
