The wilderness outside of Jericho
The Mount of Temptation is west of the City of Jericho and is where Jesus fasted, prayed and faced temptation for forty days and nights.
Matthew 4: 1-11

Lyrics
Forty days in the desert
Forty days You were hungry
Forty days in the desert now
Forty days in the desert
Forty days You were thirsty
Forty days in the desert now
Forty days contemplating
Forty days meditating
Forty days the Spirit stood by You
Forty days You were lonely
Forty days Satan fought You
Forty days in the desert now
We’ll stay with You forty days
We’ll pray with You forty days
We’ll fast with You forty days
We’ll see You through these forty days
Filled with the Holy Spirit
The fruit of His Baptism
Jesus fought Satan night and day
He did not test our Father
Who could have sent His Angels
Crushing Satan where he laid
Nourished not by bread alone
Sustained by every word that
Comes forth from the mouth of God
Jesus said you shall worship
Just one Lord, God our Father
At those words satan crawled away
Spirit led You into the wild
You fought the beast of temptation
Once our Holy little Child
Now the Man preparing our salvation
Forty days in the desert
Forty days You were hungry
Forty days in the desert now
Forty days in the desert
Forty days You were thirsty
Forty days in the desert now
