Music and words by Ellis J. Crum
He paid a debt He did not owe,
I owed a debt I could not pay.
I needed someone to wash my sins away.
And now I sing a brand new song: "Amazing Grace."
Christ Jesus paid a debt that I could never pay.
He paid a debt at Calvary,
He cleansed my soul and made me free,
I'm glad that Jesus did all my sins erase,
I now can sing a brand new song: "Amazing Grace."
Christ Jesus paid a debt that I could never pay.
Oh, such great pain my Lord endured
When He my sinful soul secured;
I should have died there but Jesus took my place.
So now I sing a brand new song: "Amazing Grace."
Christ Jesus paid a debt that I could never pay.
One day He's coming back for me
To live with Him eternally,
Won't it be glory to see Him on that day!
I then will sing a brand new song: "Amazing Grace."
Christ Jesus paid a debt that I could never pay.
1977, Ellis J. Crum
