Embracing Accusations

“Embracing Accusations” by Shane and Shane could possibly be my all time favorite song. It gives me goose bumps every time I listen to it and soak in the truth of the words they sing. It’s like, so many times we beat ourselves over the head for sinning, or maybe not reading your bible or something so trivial, and we believe this lie that we are useless and don’t deserve to even enter into prayer with the Holy One. Then what was the cross for? It’s easy to believe this lie, but you can’t stop at embracing the accusation but like the end of the song says, “Jesus saves”. Believe it, it’s really the only thing that matters.

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 over me
He’s forgotten the refrain
Jesus saves!
