Shane & Shane “Embracing Accusation” – EGP Blog post from September 1, 2012
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!
[John 8:44; John 10:10; Galatians 3:10]The Devil is preaching the song of the redeemed
That I am cursed and gone astray
I cannot gain salvation
Embracing accusation…
[Matthew 25:41; Matthew 18:12; Ephesians 2:8–9; Revelation 12:10]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!
[Romans 6:23; Romans 3:23]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!!!”
[Acts 4:12; 2 Timothy 1:9–10; Galatians 2:16]He redeemed us from the curse of the law
[Galatians 3:10–13]
