when Joshua the high priest stood before the angel of the Lord
because of his iniquities garments filthy black and torn
the accuser of the brethren stood contending for his soul
i said, the Lord rebuke Thee
and i clothe him in new robes

i hold the keys of death and hell
my blood be the price of sin
i resurrect whom i will resurrect
forgive whom i'll forgive
but whether you will serve me and cling tightly to my truth
only one thing can i say
it's up to you

When my faith of servant moses
climbed to pisgah's peak and died
the accuser of the brethren
denied my right to glorify
i met the brave and conquered
ever more alive to be
i said, the Lord rebuke Thee
and i took him home with Me

i hold the keys of death and hell
my blood be the price of sin
i resurrect whom i will resurrect
forgive whom i'll forgive
but whether you will serve me and cling tightly to my truth
only one thing can i say
it's up to you

when satan came from going to and fro through all the earth
i said have you seen my servant job he is faithful to my word
the accuser of the brethren thought he could get job to disobey
i said go ahead and try him and they could only watch and wait

i hold the keys of death and hell
my blood be the price of sin
i resurrect whom i will resurrect
forgive whom i'll forgive
but whether you will serve me and cling tightly to my truth
only one thing can i say
now salvation and strength and the kingdom of our God and the power of His Christ has come
for the accuser of the brethren who accuse them for being with God for day and night is cast down is cast down

i hold the keys of death and hell
my blood be the price of sin
i resurrect whom i will resurrect
forgive whom i'll forgive
but whether you will serve me and cling tightly to my truth
only one thing can i say

i hold the keys of death and hell
my blood be the price of sin
i resurrect whom i will resurrect
forgive whom i'll forgive
but whether you will serve me and cling tightly to my truth
only one thing can i say
it's up to you
