Paid In Full

He saved my life, bid me "Repent" My sins then on His cross were sent I could not hide before His eyes No way to pay, the cost too high A Righteous Judge, though sinner I "I knew Him not", my alibi He owed me not one bloody cent But on my debt, His blood was spent I could not pay the heavy cost Broken, hopeless, lonely...lost In His light, my darkened soul Washed in His blood, He paid my toll Bridging the divide for me I was blind, He made me see He is the Way, To Victory He Is the King A throne to rule The debt of sin He paid in full The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some regard slowness, but is being patient toward you, because He does not wish for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. ~ 2 Peter 3:9 He who covers his sins will not prosper, But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy. ~ Proverbs 28:13 NKJV Repent, then, and turn to God, so that He will forgive your sins. ~ Acts 3:19 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. ~ Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) “Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;” ~ Colossians 2:14 (KJV) 9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; ~ Revelation 5:9 (KJV)
