Paid In Full

If your automobile insurance was all paid up to date And you suffered a loss, just what would you say? Would you say, “Mr. Repairman, I will pay the bill” I don’t believe Allstate will do what they say they will If one paid for your families health insurance policy And a family member had to have a small biopsy Would you have the confidence to make a claim? Or pay it yourself, since they weren’t to blame? If one bought life insurance for your burial and plot And you died, would your survivor say, thanks a lot But I think I will pay for this all out of my own pocket After all it was not me, but another that bought it? If you owed a debt so big that you just could not pay? And one who loves you said He paid it all in one day Would you continue in futility to pay, in unbelief And pay for all eternity, a promise you can’t keep? If you were on death row, for all of yours sins to die And someone gave their life for you a sacrifice Would you start a new life, like you were born again Or continue to live your old life of shame and sin Jesus paid your debt, Gods word is your guarantee All you need was paid by Jesus death upon a tree You can pay the cost, not believing you are free Or cast all your cares on Jesus, fully redeemed If you can trust Allstate to do what they say they'll do Then surely you can trust in the Word of God too If you can trust when 'you’re in good hands” they say Then trust the nail prints in His, It's you He died to save
