embrace.

i think this video can do a 100 times better than anything i can write to communicate what god has been rocking me to the core lately. 

please watch it.

the lyrics are as follow:

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
halleluiah 
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?
that if the penalty of sin is death
the death is mine
i hear him saying
“cursed are the ones
who can’t abide”

he’s right
halleluiah
he’s right
the devil 
is preaching
the song of the redeemed
that i am 
cursed and gone astray
i cannot gain salvation

the devil’s singing over me
an age old song
that i am cursed and gone astray
sing the first verse so conveniently 
over me
he’s forgotten the refrain…

JESUS SAVES

 10All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” 11Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.” 12The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The man who does these things will live by them.” 13Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.” 14He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.

Galatians 3:10-14

at the end we all embrace one or the other: accusations of our sins or the grace that redeems anything and everything.
