Nothing to Pay

Nothing to pay ! Ah, nothing to pay !
Never a word of excuse to say !
Year after year thou hast filled the score,
Owing thy Lord still more and more.
Hear the voice of Jesus say,
'Verily thou hast nothing to pay !
Ruined, lost art thou, and yet
I forgave thee all that debt'
Nothing to pay ! the debt is so great ;
What will you do with the awful weight ?
How shall the way of escape be made ?
Nothing to pay ! yet it must be paid !

Hear the voice of Jesus say,
'Verily thou hast nothing to pay !
All has been put to My account,
I have paid the full amount.'
Nothing to pay ; yes, nothing to pay !
Jesus has cleared all the debt away ;
Blotted it out with His bleeding hand !
Free and forgiven and loved you stand
Hear the voice of Jesus say,
'Verily thou hast nothing to pay !
Paid is the debt, and the debtor free !
Now I ask thee, lovest thou ME ?'
