Dt 26:4-10; Psalm 91: 1-2; 1-2,10-15; Romans 8-13; Luke 4: 1-13

we cry
in our deserts
oh Lord
afflicted
oppressed
you hear
our cry
and lift us up
with strong hand
and outstretched arm
we feel
the power
that is you
bringing us
into your land
your spirit
your Son
where no temptation
has power
no bread
above you
no kingdom
but yours
no need
to test
our trust
complete
we bring
the first fruits
to your altar
and make merry
in our joy
for all the goodness
of You

Do you take the outstretched hand?
What are your temptations?
Do you bring your first fruits to God?
