Into the wilderness Jesus was Spirit-led,
Fasting forty days. The tempter came: "Make stones bread!"
"It's written: man lives by God's words too!" was Christ's vote.
Jump from the Temple, God'll save you!" "'Don't tempt God',quote!"
"Worship me, I'll give you the world's kingdoms on show!"
"It's writ: worship God and serve Him only! Now go!"
Seeing Him victor, angels ministered to Christ;
He dwelt then in Capernaum, where He brought new life,
Fulfilling a prophecy of Isaiah, next
Called Simon, Andrew, James and John from fishing nets,
Preached and healed the sick, those with devils and palsy,
Also lunatics, and was followed by many.
