Forty Days And Forty Nights - Instrumental

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 doveAnd heard from heaven a voice by the FatherWho saidThis is my beloved SonThis is my beloved SonThe Baptist criedBehold the Lamb of God who Who taketh away Who taketh awayThe sins of the worldThe sins of the worldNow is the time for me to decreaseFor the One has come who must increaseHe must increaseOne whose sandals I am not worthy to loosenWhose sandals I am unworthy Into the wilderness by the Spirit was leadInto the wilderness by the Spirit was leadInto the wilderness by the Spirit was leadFasting for forty days and forty nightsAnd satan came to him as an angel of lightAnd in the severest way he was temptedDeception of the worst kindBut in him no fault he could findThe victory was his and mineThe word of God written upon his heartAnd he quenched every fiery dartHe quenched every fiery dartThere was nothing satan could say so he fled awayThere was nothing so he fled awayThe final phase of his mission had begunTo show us all that we can overcomeAnd he broke free from the bonds of appetiteFinal phase of his mission had begunTo show us all we can overcomeHe broke free from the bond of appetite That we might also be freeOh and now the way to life was pavedAnd through Jesus we can be savedOh in the universal controversyIn the universal controversySatan’s evil sophistry tried to get sin to be immortalizedThe battle he had lost and revealed was all of his liesAnd he is overcomeOh he is overcomeHis victory and we to have wonYes he has overcomeOhPraise for he has overcome the worldThe law has been fulfilledThat we unto the fullnessCan be fulfilled unto fullness of ChristThe fullness of love About Us:<br/><br/>This world is a dry and weary land.<br/><br/>All around us are people dying for a drink of fresh, new life.<br/><br/>In the Bible, drought and famine were used as a symbol of the lack or withdrawal of God's blessing. <br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>We find ourselves lost, alone, broken, hungry, thirsty and on the brink of death.<br/><br/>But none have strayed so far that they cannot return. <br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Cry out to Him for help and surrender your life back to Him.<br/><br/>He promised He would take you back, always.<br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>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!<br/><br/>Love,<br/>Nick and Lauren   Support the show
