The father of lies
Is coming to steal, kill and destroy
All my hopes of being good enough
I hear him say,
"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 say,
"Cursed are the ones who can't abide,"
He's right, hallelujah, he's right
The devil is preaching the song of the redeemd
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
Singing the first verse so conveniently over me
He's forgotten the refrain:
Jesus saves
