Debt: “Something that is owed; something that one person is bound to pay or to perform for another.”

J. Vernon McGee, "Did he run up a bill for neckties and shoes and forget to pay the bill? No, he had no business transaction with these people. However, he had a personal transaction with Jesus Christ which put him in debt to every man, because the grace of God was so bountifully bestowed upon him. Paul was in debt to a lost world."

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 that debt at Calvary, He cleansed my soul and set 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.

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.
