It is written

But he answered, “It is written,

“‘Man shall not live by bread alone,

but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

Matthew 4:4

“It is written…”

those three words

make the devil turn

when the tempter lied

Jesus strongly replied

with “It is written.”

“It is written…”

the Word of God

from the Son of God

silenced temptation

Bringer of salvation

trusted “It is written.”

“It is written…”

So we must

confidently trust

scripture’s power

in our trying hour

believing “It is written.”

“It is written…”

will form our souls

will make us whole

in truth we live

victory He gives

because “It is written.”
