The Debt We Owe

This is a song about how Jesus paid the debt for our sins, and how we should praise him and adore him for dying for our sins, and for offering us the free gift of salvation from sins, i.e. the gift of deliverance out of our slavery to sin and the empowerment of God to now live for him and to walk in obedience to his commands in holy living, and no longer in sin.

Oh, how I praise and thank the Lord Jesus for saving me from my sins. I thank him and praise him for his marvelous grace to me in reaching down to me and lifting me out of the pit, and for putting me on the Solid Rock where I can stand secure. I am so grateful for his love for me, but also for his patience and his mercy and forgiveness in taking one such as me and making me into a pure vessel which he can use for his glory. This has nothing to do with me or with my goodness, either, but only with his grace. And, because he has done so much for me, I owe him everything! 

“So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.” ~ Romans 8:12-14 ESV

The Debt We Owe  

An Original Work / July 2, 2011

I adore You, Lord, my Master.

I worship and praise You, King.

You are such an awesome God who

Loves us so much, grace You bring.

You died to save us from our sin 

So that we could be set free.

I adore You, Lord, my Master.

I worship and praise You, King.

Lord, You are our Great Redeemer.

You paid the debt that we owe,

So that we might be forgiven, 

And our God we’d come to know;

Be transformed to be like Jesus,

Who conquered, in death, our foe.

Lord, You are our Great Redeemer.

You paid the debt that we owe.

Jesus our Messiah, Savior,

Lord and Master, King of kings,

You provided our redemption,

So we’d live in victory.

From our sin and self You ransomed

Us for all eternity.

Jesus our Messiah, Savior,

Lord and Master, King of kings.
