We had a debt we could not pay,

Yet still it grew from day to day.

Then we heard these words from heaven,

“My erring child you are forgiven.”

 

Oh blessed day my soul’s set free.

Gone are my fears of penalty.

Gone too the stain of sin’s disgrace,

To stand before Him face to face.

 

I hear him say while they revile,

“Father, forgive this erring child.”

“They do not know just what they do.”

His love was sent to these men too.

 

If God forgives so full and free,

Should it not be for you and me?

To give someone a touch of heaven,

And say to them, “You are forgiven.”
