Debt Paid

A debt I owed;
I could not pay,
was nailed to a cross,
on that gloomy day.

Such shame and 
torture he had to 
endure, because of 
love for me and you.

Now when I'm down,
and all alone,my mind
wonders back to where
they ripped the flesh
from off His bones.


The love that my 
dear Savior shared,
nothing I go through
on this earth could 
ever be compared.
