Story behind the song
From this story, one will learn how Jesus mastered the Mind and received guidance from God by fighting temptations of the desires.
He goes out in the wilderness to fast for fourty days, and becomes hungry. First, he is tempted by the devil/desire to transform stones into loaves of bread to quench his hunger. He wisely replies that "One does not live by bread alone, but only by every Word that comes forth from the Mouth of God" (God grants us Life)
Then the tempter tells Jesus to give up and throw himself down, because it is written that the angels would help him. He wisely replies, "You shall not put the Lord, your God, to the test." (God gives us the means to help ourself)
Finally, after Jesus climbed to a very high mountain and saw the wealthy Kingdoms of the land, he was told he could have all of them if he served the desire. He boldly remarked, "Get away, Satan! It is written: 'The Lord your God shall you serve, and him alone shall you serve.'"
He refused all that the desires offered him, and this caused the tempter to leave. He was then blessed with the deeper knowledge.

Intro
---------------------
Yo ima tell you a story,
About how desires of man lead astray,
But what you will learn from this story,
Is that those who do not obey the temptations,
Will be guided and granted a great Life

Story - Matthew Ch.4
----------------------
Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert,,
and was tempted by the devil.
He fasted for forty days and forty nights,,
and afterwards he was hungry.
The desire approached him and said, "If you are the Servant of God, command that these stones become loaves of bread."
He said in reply, "It is written: 'One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.'"
Then the devil took him to the holy city, and made him stand on the parapet of the temple,
and he said to him, "If you are the Servant of God, throw yourself down.
For it is written: 'He will command his angels concerning you and 'with their hands they will support you, lest you dash your foot against a stone.'"
Jesus answered him, "Again it is written, 'You shall not put the Lord, your God, to the test.'"
Then the devil took him up to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in their magnificence,
and he said to him, "All these I shall give to you, if you will prostrate yourself and serve me."
At this, Jesus said to him, "Get away, Satan! It is written: 'The Lord your God shall you serve, and him alone shall you serve.'"
Then the devil left him and, behold, angels came and ministered to him.

My Lord,
Please protect me from evil desires that speak to man,
My Lord,
Please help me to learn and follow your ways

Have Mercy on me
Surely, it is your path that leads to success
[The Kingdom of God is within you]
My Lord, you are the Guide
My Lord, I ask you to guide me
My Lord, you are my Light
My Lord, please shine on me
My Lord, you are so Kind
My Lord, I invite you in my mind
