Paid In
Full
by
Barbara Philbrook
I went to
the cross to accept salvation,
and then walked beside Jesus as we started our new
relation.
It had
taken me many years to believe salvation is free,
and that Jesus had willingly died for me.
I was
leary of receiving something being offered without cost,
so terribly weary and was almost lost.
Then
finally my eyes were opened and I invited Jesus in,
and that's when our walk really did begin.
Soon I
heard there was more to be given,
I prayed and begged for it. I was absolutely driven.
But no
matter how much I begged and cried,
nothing more came. I felt I was being denied.
I told
this to a special lady one day,
no no "it's already yours" is what she had to
say.
You see
when Jesus died on the cross at Calvary,
it was so that the accounts were marked 'Paid In Full'
for you and me.
We do not
receive the parts of the salvation plan one by one,
we are recipients of it all when we accept the Son.
Paid In
Full, just waiting to be received,
no need to beg or plead, who would have ever believed.
I know it
now and I am going to the head of the line,
I want to have all that Jesus said is mine.
I will be
all that Jesus meant for me to be,
I will bring Honor to His Name now and throughout
eternity.
Paid in
full is what the accounts say,
come and receive what Jesus purchased for you on Golgotha
that day.
