Forty Days And Forty Nights - Live
Forty Days and Forty Nights (A Man Called John)
In the year A.D. 31 the Spirit descended upon him
Descended upon him like a dove
And heard from heaven a voice by the Father
Who said
This is my beloved Son
This is my beloved Son
The Baptist cried
Behold the Lamb of God who
Who taketh away
Who taketh away
The sins of the world
The sins of the world
Now is the time for me to decrease
For the One has come who must increase
He must increase
One whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen
Whose sandals
I am unworthy
Into the wilderness by the Spirit was lead
Into the wilderness by the Spirit was lead
Into the wilderness by the Spirit was lead
Fasting for forty days and forty nights
And satan came to him as an angel of light
And in the severest way he was tempted
Deception of the worst kind
But in him no fault he could find
The victory was his and mine
The word of God written upon his heart
And he quenched every fiery dart
He quenched every fiery dart
There was nothing satan could say so he fled away
There was nothing so he fled away
The final phase of his mission had begun
To show us all that we can overcome
And he broke free from the bonds of appetite
Final phase of his mission had begun
To show us all we can overcome
He broke free from the bond of appetite
That we might also be free
Oh and now the way to life was paved
And through Jesus we can be saved
Oh in the universal controversy
In the universal controversy
Satan’s evil sophistry tried to get sin to be immortalized
The battle he had lost and revealed was all of his lies
And he is overcome
Oh he is overcome
His victory and we to have won
Yes he has overcome
Oh
Praise for he has overcome the world
The law has been fulfilled
That we unto the fullness
Can be fulfilled unto fullness of Christ
The fullness of love
About Us:
This world is a dry and weary land.
All around us are people dying for a drink of fresh, new life.
In the Bible, drought and famine were used as a symbol of the lack or withdrawal of God's blessing.
Like the prodigal son and the lost sheep, we have all chosen to leave the safety and security of God's love and favor, enticed by our own lusts and the alluring but empty and deadly deceptions of the enemy of our souls.
We find ourselves lost, alone, broken, hungry, thirsty and on the brink of death.
But none have strayed so far that they cannot return.
Jesus actively seeks and works to rescue every last one of His precious souls redeemed from destruction by the very high price of His spotless life and terrible death on their behalf.
As the world departs further and further from God, and you find yourself in a dark, lonely desert place longing for hope, faith, love and a future, remember that Jesus loves you.
Cry out to Him for help and surrender your life back to Him.
He promised He would take you back, always.
We pray the music ministry of The Rain refreshes your dry and weary soul, and opens your heart for the outpouring of God's Holy Spirit in these end times.
And if you want to use any of the instrumental tracks to sing to at your church or other live function, please feel free! We would love that. We love radio play too! Feel free to play any and all songs and tracks on your radio station or website if you have one. Spreading God's love through music makes us happy. God inhabits the praise of His people!
Love,
Nick and Lauren
