"Embracing Accusation"- Shane Barnard

           I found these lyrics so powerful and just what I needed to hear today.  Thought you might like them too! The Spirit uses Shane and Shane over and over in my life to pierce my heart and give me Truth.


Embracing Accusation
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! Alleluia he’s right! 

The devil is preaching over me 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!
