Embracing Accusation

This song, by Shane & Shane, shakes me. Talks about the devil so conveniently slipping us "half truths," whispering and waiting for us to believe...but he's left out the rest of the Story. The XC team listened to this before they ran at Nationals last weekend.

You should watch it on YouTube. I CANNOT GAIN salvation - Hallelujah! Jesus saves!! So powerful.

Embracing Accusation

The father of lies
Coming to steal
Kill and destroy
All my hopes of being good enough
I hear him saying cursed are the ones
Who can’t abide
He’s right
Alleluia he’s right!

The devil is preaching
The song of the redeemed
That I am cursed and gone astray
I cannot gain salvation
Embracing accusation

Could the father of lies
Be telling the truth
Of God to me tonight?
If the penalty of sin is death
Then death is mine
I hear him saying cursed are the ones
Who can’t abide
He’s right
Alleluia he’s right!

Oh the devil’s singing over me
An age old song
That I am cursed and gone astray
Singing the first verse so conveniently
He’s forgotten the refrain
Jesus saves!
