Upon an old rugged tree -
hanging there between two thieves -
my Jesus paid a debt for me -
he did not owe -
Now by his grace I'll make it home -
for with his blood he saved my soul -
Yes, my Jesus paid a debt for me the did not owe
(Chorus) He paid a debt he did not owe
And I owed a debt I could not pay
I needed someone to wash my sins away
Now I'm singing a brand new song - of that happy day
Yes, my Jesus paid a debt for me - I could not pay
I walked on everyday -
and I felt I'd lost my way -
from all the pain and my trails down here below -
Then one day - he set me free -
he opened my eyes so I could see -
Yes, my Jesus paid a debt for me -
He did not owe
