In His Hunger - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

When he was hungry
alone in the desert
the tester, the tempter,
trying to change his path

Christ encountering
the devil in his hunger
remaining faithful
to the Lord, his servanthood

Honoring the law,
the teachings of scripture
a lesson in righteousness
for all of us to learn

Even in his hunger
alone in the desert
Christ remaining faithful
for that we give our thanks

Praise to our savior
who remembered his mission
come to the earth
to set us free from our sin
