This one's not quite finished, but you're welcome to have a go
From the Jordan to the desert, from the crowd to barren place, Spirit-driven, Satan-tempted, Lord, you sought the Father’s grace: show us now your pow’r, in weakness, presence in the empty space.
Out of Egypt with God’s people, freedom brings its testing stress: what is right and what is truthful, how the name of God confess? Jesus, be our journey’s leader, guide us through the wilderness.
Lack of food for empty stomach, offered only cold hard stone; scripture used to tempt and strengthen; easy route to grasp the throne: Bread of life, and Word incarnate help us worship God alone.
In the search for loving justice, in the quest for truth and right, Jesus walk beside, before us, hold your Cross of love in sight; keep us in your Father’s presence, guide us to your risen light.

Date: 2012-10-24 08:33 pm (UTC)From the Jordan to the desert,
from the crowd to barren place,
Spirit-driven, Satan-tempted,
Lord, you sought the Father’s grace:
show us now your pow’r, in weakness,
presence in the empty space.
Out of Egypt with God’s people,
freedom brings its testing stress:
what is right and what is truthful,
how the name of God confess?
Jesus, be our journey’s leader,
guide us through the wilderness.
Lack of food for empty stomach,
offered only cold hard stone;
scripture used to tempt and strengthen;
easy route to grasp the throne:
Bread of life, and Word incarnate
help us worship God alone.
In the search for loving justice,
in the quest for truth and right,
Jesus walk beside, before us,
hold your Cross of love in sight;
keep us in your Father’s presence,
guide us to your risen light.
