1. Follow the steps of Jesus Into the wilderness 'Twas there He prayed and fasted In days of loneliness. Led by the Holy Spirit At one with Him above His destiny accepting He was the God of Love. |
2. Follow the heart of Jesus For forty days and nights The burningsun in daytime The chilly breeze at night. The stars locked down upon Him The pale rays from the moon Gave solace to their Maker Oh, mystical Triune! |
3. Follow the word of Jesus As pang of hunger came. The Devil tried to tempt Him With bread and power and fame. But Jesus strong in Spirit He knew the tempter's voice Cried "Get behind me Satan" Only in God rejoice. |
4. Follow the deeds of Jesus As Satan fled that day And Angels came to tend Him For comfort on his way. Draw closer to our Saviour And meditate on Him In quiet joy be prayerful As trials of life grow dim. |
