Like Onesimus I ran away,
And I guess I thought I'd never pay
For all my sin; where would I begin?
But the hour came, and I was found;
The law had come and I was bound!
I could not run; what could be done?
"Put that on My account!"
Is what the Savior said!
"Put that on My account,
And cancel all the debt!"
My sins were oh so bad,
And great was their amount,
But now I'm free and glad
They're all on Christ's account!
verse 2
Oh, how great the debt of sin I owed
As I traveled down life's weary road
Unmindful of God's wondrous love.
But He loved me still though vile I'd done;
To repay my debt He gave His Son
To die for me; He set me free!
verse 3
Well, the old account is settled now,
And at Jesus' feet I humbly bow!
Oh! Bless His name!
He bore all my shame!
But wait! There's even more than this!
He has given me His righteousness!
All this for me! How can it be!
"Put that on My account!"
Is what the Savior said!
"Put that on My account,
And cancel all the debt!"
My sins were oh so bad,
And great was their amount,
But now I'm free and glad
They're all on Christ's account!
