Acoustic Guitar, folk/country/blues/ballad. Is that enough?

I am a Christian Singer/songwriter living in Scotland and have home-produced two CDs 'Me and Hymn' and 'Revelation'. My style ranges from folk/country to acoustic blues. My songs are a mixture of praise, self-witness and reflection. I have sold my CDs to family and friends but never shared my music outwith this community.

Story behind the song

Each day, we are faced with temptation. Often we give in and forget about it.  Sometimes the temptations are more important and we turn to Christ for guidance.  His guidance is there in the Bible.

Lyrics

FORTY DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS
Forty days and forty nights
In the wilderness You roamed
With temptation by Your side
As you fought to save Your soul
But he was there at every turn
The Devil in a human form
And he tried to bring You down
Even though to God You’re born

CHRS
Stones into bread
That’s what the Devil said
Throw Yourself down!
You’ll  never hit the ground.
This world could be Yours.
 If to me You bow 

Forty days and forty nights
You endured to help us see
That even though temptation’s strong
And it comes when we are weak
That you are there at every turn
Jesus Christ , The Risen Lord
As he tries to pull us down
Even though to God we’re born
CHRS…
