Forever Indebted To Him
Precious Jesus, I had a huge debt
that I could not pay,
indebted in soul to the prince of this world
until Your blood came and washed it all away.
I was held fast with the cords of sin
in hopeless agony,
until the day I asked Jesus the Christ into my life
while praying upon my bended knees.
You ask me, “Now that you are free,
what will you do with your life”?
But I say, it is a wrong thought my friend
for I belong not to me anymore but to this Christ Who was crucified.
No longer a slave to sin am I
now only a bondwoman of love,
I will gladly serve You until I die
and then in Heaven above.
Forever indebted to the Master
the One Who died for me,
so gladly I will serve Him
through all eternity.
