This is my favorite song way back when I used to sing in church. Thank you for sharing these lyrics.

I grew up as a child listening to this in our family old church....and all the churches today never play the good hymns we grew up too....I SING THIS SOMG ALL THE TIME ESPECIALLY IN. MY TROUBLE OR HARD TIMES AND I ONLY REMEMBERED THE CHORUS,,,,THANKYOU FOR THE QUESTIOMS AND THE PEOPLE WHO LAID OUT THE WORDS TO THE SONG
TAMI

Here is the version we sing:

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 wit 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

God's Blessing to All

HE PAID A DEBT HE DID NOT OWE (1977)
Words by Ellis J Crum Key: Eb 4/4
W & M by Jack Taylor (?) or, Ellis J Crum

He Paid A Debt

Upon an old rugged tree -
hanging there between two thieves -
my Jesus paid a debt for me -
he did not owe -
Now by his grace I'll make it home -
for with his blood he saved my soul -
Yes, my Jesus paid a debt for me the did not owe

(Chorus) He paid a debt he did not owe
And I owed a debt I could not pay
I needed someone to wash my sins away
Now I'm singing a brand new song - of that happy day
Yes, my Jesus paid a debt for me - I could not pay

I walked on everyday -
and I felt I'd lost my way -
from all the pain and my trails down here below -
Then one day - he set me free -
he opened my eyes so I could see -
Yes, my Jesus paid a debt for me -
He did not owe

MY DEBT WAS GROWING EVERYDAY, AND I KNEW THERE WAS NO WAY, TO OVERCOME THESE TRIALS DOWN HERE BELOW. HTEN ONE DAY HE SET ME FREE, OPENED MY EYES SO I COULD SEE, MY JESUS PAID A DEBT FOR ME HE DID NOT OWE.

HE PAID A DEBT

VERSE 1:
There was a time in my life when I longed for peace of mind
I never pondered sin's price that must be paid
This life sin took its toll in wasted years, still un-resigned,
But on Jesus, at the cross, my sin was laid

CHORUS:
He paid a debt He did not owe,
I owed a debt I could not pay,
I needed someone to wash my sin away
And now I sing that brand new song: Amazing Grace
For Jesus paid the debt that I could never pay

VERSE 2:
And then one day Jesus touched me
And I knew his life divine
Now he leads me down the path that's filled with His love.
No more alone, I'll sing His praise for I feel Him deep inside
Just knowing Jesus is worth more than anything

CHORUS:
He paid a debt He did not owe,
I owed a debt I could not pay,
I needed someone to wash my sin away
And now I sing that brand new song: Amazing Grace
For Jesus paid the debt that I could never pay

TAG:
And now I sing that brand new song: Amazing Grace
For Jesus paid the debt that I could never pay

This song starts out like this 'Up on a hill of Calvary (at least I think this is it), hanging there between two thieves, my Jesus paid a debt for me He did not owe." The chorus goes like this "He paid a debt He did not owe, I owed a debt I could not pay, I need someone to wash my sins away....". Does anybody know this one? Love to everyone and God Bless---Sissy
