Embracing Accusation

Great song from Shane and Shane.

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
Hallelujah, 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
Hallelujah, 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

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