Jesus was led by the Spirit to prepare for the temptations ahead
After forty days and forty nights the tempter came and said
"If You are the Son of God (if You are the Son of God) tell these stones to become bread"
"Man doesn't live by bread alone but with every word from the mouth of God"

Jesus was led by the Devil to the holy city that day
At the highest point of the temple the tempter came and said
"If You are the Son of God (if You are the Son of God) throw Yourself down and You won't be harmed"
"I know there are angels to break my fall but I will not test the Lord my God"

Again He was led by the Devil to the mountain top that day
He showed Him the world and the kingdoms that were and the tempter came and said
"If You bow to me Son of God (if You are the Son of God) I will give You everything"
"Away from me Satan I've passed your temptation there are people out there and I'm going to save them"

Bridge:
Entire worlds (entire worlds) can't bring Me down
Entire worlds can't bring Me down
Can't bring Me down
Can't bring Me down

I am the Son of God (You are the Son of God)
Entire worlds can't bring Me down
You can live in Me alone
'Cause my every word is the voice of God

Scriptural Reference:

"Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, 'If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.' Jesus answered, 'It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'' Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 'If you are the Son of God,' he said, 'throw yourself down. For it is written: 'He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'' Jesus answered him, 'It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.' Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 'All this I will give you,' he said, 'if you will bow down and worship me.'" Matthew 4:1-9
"Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the desert, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry. The devil said to him, 'If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.' Jesus answered, 'It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone.'' The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. And he said to him, 'I will give you all their authority and splendor, for it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. So if you worship me, it will all be yours.' Jesus answered, 'It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.'' The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 'If you are the Son of God,' he said, 'throw yourself down from here. For it is written: ''He will command his angels concerning you to guard you carefully; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'' Jesus answered, 'It says: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.''" Luke 4:1-12
