He Paid A Debt He Did Not Owe

1. He paid a debt He did not owe,

I owed a debt I could not pay,

I needed someone to wash my sins away,

And, now, I sing a brand new song,

“Amazing Grace,”

Christ Jesus paid a debt that I could never pay.

 

2. He paid that debt at Calvary,

He cleansed my soul and set me free,

I’m glad that Jesus did all my sins erase,

I now can sing a brand new song,

“Amazing Grace,”

Christ Jesus paid a debt that I could never pay.

 

3. One day He’s coming back for me,

To live with Him eternally,

Won’t it be glory to see Him on that day!

I, then, will sing a brand new song,

“Amazing Grace,”

Christ Jesus paid a debt that I could never pay.
