Jesus paid a debt I owed
A debt I could not pay
It was only by his merciful grace that for me there was a way
I was born a sinner inherited from Adam and Eve
The only way to have my debt paid was to believe on Jesus and him receive
He came to pay for our sins at such an awful cost
They put a crown of thorns on his head and nailed him to the cross
When he was dying in agony people watched him and did stare
Some said “He saved others why don’t He just come down from there”
But Jesus had to stay upon the cruel cross you see
For he was hanging there suffering for you and me
He had to stay on the cross for our sins to pay
Then he cried “It is finished” the debt paid in full that day Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
