Paid In Full

You feed me when I was hungry.
You clothed me when I was naked.
You sheltered me when I was roofless.
You wiped away my tears,
and gave me joy.

Upon the cross…
I laid my sickness, 
you healed me.
I laid my poverty, 
you made me rich.

I became healed for you to be sick.
I became rich for you to be poor.
You were wiped for me sake.
By the stripe, I am healed.

You gave me paradise on earth,
and still promised me paradise in heaven.
I remembered when I was in prison,
you set me free.

Jesus, you paid in full,
and left change for me.
You are my hero and king.
