Jesus went to the stable for me

 Jesus went to the stable for me
born in a human likeness was He
a babe in a manger He was to be 
just as the Father told Him
There He lay with the cattle and sheep
placed on a bed of straw to sleep
every word in His heart to keep
just as the Father told Him 
Jesus went to the desert for me
taunted and tempted by Satan was He
but Jesus answered words of victory
just as the Father told Him
‘You shall have everything you see’
Satan said ‘If you worship me’
‘To God alone will I bow’ said he
just as the Father told Him
Jesus went to the mountain for me
Spoke with Elijah and Moses did He
there He was given all authority
just as the Father told Him
‘We’ll build booths for these two’ they said
‘see they have come back from the dead’
‘My Son alone will you hear instead’
was just what the Father told them
Jesus came in the Spirit for me
Comforter, counsellor, healer is He
and from the curse I have been set free
just as the Father tells me
Now my heart and my mind are stirred
I must act on what I have heard
and I shall live by God’s every word
just as the Father tells me
