Gord Lang - Paid In Full lyrics

rate me

It was shattered and broken – beyond repair and I wondered – what should I do now?

It was hard to believe any worth remained – but it had to be paid for somehow

I shuddered to look very closely at the terrible mess I had made

But the note on the bill so clearly declared - “This debt has been fully paid”

“Paid in full!” - but I didn't deserve so much mercy

I was clearly to blame for the unsightly scene there before me

And my deepest regret couldn't pay for the debt that I owed to the Potter that day

But because of the depth of His unfailing love - there was nothing that I had to pay

Now I tried to relieve the burden of guilt by hiding the pieces away

Still hoping to find some future solution to the problem created that day

It didn't take too long to notice that even the darkest of night

Provided no cover for all of my past whenever I came near the Light

Today I passed by the place where it happened and paused to remember the scene

There wasn't a trace of my tragic mistake – the place was swept totally clean

And the Potter had no recollection when He heard the regret of my past

But when I recalled the note on the bill I truly believed it at last

“Paid in full!” - though I'll never deserve so much mercy

When I'm clearly to blame for the unsightly scene there before me

But my deepest regret never pays for the debt that I owe to the Potter each day

And its only because of His unfailing love - there is nothing that I have to pay

Lord - its only because of Your unfailing love - there is nothing that I have to pay
