I walked into the throne room with my head bowed to the floor
Carrying a mountain of the life I did before
I owed a million lifetimes, every coin I’d ever spent
I was nothing but a debtor, and my spirit came and went
The King looked down with mercy, He saw my heavy load
He took the pen, He struck it through, and wiped it off the road.
(Chorus)
He didn't ask for payment, He didn't ask for time
He gave me back my freedom, just a gift of the sublime
And the law of grace is written, if you’re living in the light
If you’ve been forgiven everything, you treat your brother right
'Cause the love that you were given, if you keep it in your hand
It turns to dust and ashes, like a desert made of sand.
(Verse 2)
I walked out of that kingdom with a heart that should have soared
But I found a man who owed me, and I started keeping score
I grabbed him by the collar, held the debt above his head
I forgot the King’s compassion, I forgot the words He said
I was holding on to pennies, while a fortune was set free
I traded all that mercy for a cold hypocrisy.
(Bridge)
Then the King came back to find me, with a fire in His eye
He saw the heavy ledger, and He heard the brother’s cry
He said, "I cleared your record, I opened up the gate
Why did you shut it on him, and seal his lonely fate?"
He turned the key upon me, and the prison walls drew near
The love I wouldn't offer became my only fear.
(Outro)
Yeah, the wicked servant learned it, on a cold and lonely floor
That the one who won't give mercy, won't be finding any more
Keep the gate wide open, let the heavy burdens go
'Cause you only keep the grace, if you let the grace flow.
When your sins were forgiven and you dont forgive,remember your sins wont be forgiven.
You are wicked in God's eye and you will be casted out into prison.
