Author: J. W. Van DeVenter Hymnal: Victory Songs #136 (1920) First Line: The debt I owed I could not pay Refrain First Line: He paid my debt upon the cross Lyrics: 1 The debt I owed I could not pay,
For I was helpless from the fall;
Yet still I heard the Spirit say
That Jesus paid it all.
Chorus:
He paid my debt upon the cross,
He died to set me free;
When nothing else could pay the loss,
He gave Himself for me.
2 The way was dark, I could not see,
My hope was gone, my faith was small,
Until the Word revealed to me
That Jesus paid it all. [Chorus]
3 By faith I saw Him bleed and die!
That dreadful day I now recall,
When nothing else could satisfy,
Then Jesus paid it all. [Chorus]
4 He saved my soul that once was lost,
He rescued me, a worthless thrall
I wonder, when I count the cost,
Why Jesus paid it all. [Chorus]
5 I found a place within His care,
The gates of death cannot appall;
His grace will keep me ever there,
For Jesus paid it all. [Chorus] Topics: Atonement and the Cross; Duets; Future, The; Jesus; Salvation and Sanctification Languages: English Tune Title: [The debt I owed I could not pay]
He Gave Himself For Me.
