Using the law the devil accuses us of not being worthy, of being sinners who cannot ever be in Gods favor. We sin every day and we can not change that. We try to, we try to save ourselves, but the devil is quick to remind us that we can't.
"there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death?" Says Paul in Romans 7: 23-24
Ofcourse there's the good news, the gospel tells us: there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus!
But sometimes we forget
"the truth will set you free
But it won't for me"
and
"The ship is setting off to sea
But it's sailing without me"
that's when the devil's been talking.
You are not good enough, you can't change, you are a sinner, you are not worthy, you are alone - all this is true, but NOT for those who belong to Jesus.
In my opinion the song is based on Romans 7 - An essential chapter for every christian.
