Poetry
A Balance on My Account
There was a balance on my account
It was a debt that I owed
A burden that I was carrying
Until Jesus came and eased the load
I wondered why he did it
What reason could there be
For Jesus to pay this debt
So that my balance was clear and free
What have I done to earn
This kindness he extended to me
Is it something that I deserve
When he didn’t even charge a fee
I will search until I find out
How all of this benefits me
About this sacrifice he made
Upon the cross at Calvary
Then I heard a voice say he loves you
What an example for the world to see
Why else would Jesus die
Except to pay the sin debt for you and me
