Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Jesus Paid My Debt

Jesus paid a debt I owed

I 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
