When Jesus walked upon the land
Denying cup and meat
Suffering desert, burning sand
Till Satan met defeat
We too can flee the fowler’s snares
Each tempting ploy today
Resist buying the serpent’s wares
And see him crawl away
Who’d seek for victory in God’s Son
His guidance would receive
Who’d see mighty miracles done
Fasting; could well achieve
Fasting can break the strongest chain
Can free from Satan’s claws
Can light the flame of hope again
Can open many doors
Its not a way for losing weight
Except the weight of shame
But who declines from meat and mate
Can lift up Jesus’ name
Can touch the heart of God on high
Can move His hands of might
Can bring us treasure none can buy
Can put the foe to flight
True faith can grow through fasting prayer
Life’s spark can come ablaze
Can bring The Lord great gifts to share
As was in bible days
But many knees fail yet to bow
Like fools they’re plagued with doubt
They think to fast is not for now
