Bluegrass Calvinism

This here song is to be sung to the tune of

"I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow".

Now let's git with it!


(Lyrics by Eddie Eddings)

I believe in Limited Atonement

God chose His sheep from eternity.

I bid farewell to Arminian theories

They're just not right hermeneutical keys.

(They're just not right hermeneutical keys.)

For six long years I've taught that free will

Was what we all had every day.

Now I know that wills are taken captive

We can't escape - there's just no way.

[chorus] Outside of Christ - there ain't no way.

God's sovereign choice and His rich mercy

Brought me from death's captivity.

I would not choose to follow Jesus

I was too busy following me.

[chorus] He was entombed in his psyche.

Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger

My face you'll never see no more.

But there is one promise that is given

The Elect will meet on God's golden shore.

[chorus] The Elect will meet on God's golden shore.
