Lyrics

Full Of God's Spirit
Now the devil walked with Jesus out in the wilderness.
Tempted him to passion, to power and all the rest.
Jesus full of Spirit spoke truth and met the test,
Do not tempt the Lord your God, it takes more than bread to live.
Chorus: It was complete insanity,
The devil tried to tempt the King,
But full of Spirit He could not lose. (Repeat chorus.)
Now the devil's flying airplanes, full of fuel and innocents.
Aimed at the icons of wealth and happiness.
Thousands of people many races many lands,
Blasted into eternity...holding hands,
Now the evil retreated temporarily, Waiting for another opportunity,
To tell his lies and devastate the lamb. He came back strong as a terrorist,
In crumbling ashes, untimely deaths. To tell his lies and devastate the land.
Now the stories rising from the smoke, A place where God so often spoke,
Tells a different kind of thing. No man has greater love,
Than to give his life for someone else. God know we saw a lot of that.
Don't let temporary insanity Keep you from truth that can set you free,
Full of God's Spirit, you cannot lose A Spirit of generosity, of faith, hope, and peace,
Full of god's Spirit you cannot lose, A Spirit of generosity, faith, hope, and peace,
Full of god's Spirit you cannot lose.
