Every Penny
Every penny was there
every dime that was borrowed
Jesus Christ's atonement paid for it all
to cancel all of our debts
that we all owed for all of our sins
that we never told
There is no need for Jesus
to announce his presence for every man to see
because of the love that he gives
is all the proof that we will ever need
of his heavenly existence is still there
in place indeed
No bone was broken in his earthly vessel
on that very day
that the angry crowd cried out loud
they wanted our savior Jesus Christ to pay
they let the guilty one go and chose for him to stay
No shameful excuse from him would be said
to those of the household of faith
of why he wouldn't rise from the grave
in three blessed days
As he had said
if they would take up their cross
and follow him instead
Every penny was there

because of the love that he gives

of his heavenly existence is still there

No bone was broken in his earthly vessel
on that very day
that the angry crowd cried out loud
they wanted our savior Jesus Christ to pay

No shameful excuse from him would be said
to those of the household of faith
of why he wouldn't rise from the grave
in three blessed days
As he had said
if they would take up their cross
and follow him instead
if they would take up their cross
and follow him instead.
