Totally opposed to the song. The same as I imagine any believer in salvation by grace I've ever met would be. When I do meet one actually preaching sin ahoy because you're covered, I'll speak up loudly.

But the one who says he still struggles with sin, without justifying it, is in fact an honest man.

I am saved by grace, therefore I love the law. It's the only way that I can guage whether I am still being conformed into His image - as I know full well that sanctification is both a point in time and a process.

As is typical for God throughout Scripture, He declares things before we can see them come to full fruition. Including this, based on the fact that it is HIM Who is completing the good work in us:

Jude 24-25

"To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy - to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen."

After all, He knows this because - HE IS!

Antinomianism is alive and well in the OSAS camp. They unashamedly state that once you are saved, it does not matter how you live, you are saved always.
Some do that.

Others like John MacArthur will say that if you stray from Christ 25 years from today -- then you were never saved to start with

Once you are saved you will act like you’re saved, and die saved

John 10:28: "And I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand."

1 John 2:19
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us.

Hebrews 10:39
36 You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. 37 For,

“In just a little while,
he who is coming will come
and will not delay.”[f]
38 And,

“But my righteous[g] one will live by faith.
And I take no pleasure
in the one who shrinks back.”[h]
39 But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.

John 10:28
"And I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand."

Hebrews 6:4-6
4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

Romans 8:29-30
“For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.”
