There is nothing I could ever do.
I could never give enough
To even begin to repay.
I sense the weight of debt paid.
My love and dedication falls short of this
Abundant grace as all the efforts of a world
That gives out of selfishness.
I often live in denial of what I must repay
Though I never could repay.
But the inclination must be there.
I carry the weight of debt paid.
I have learned to acknowledge the debt
And accept that I was debtor
To a weight that would surely have crushed me.
I have learned to freely give back
Of what was freely given to me.
I live under the weight of debt paid.
I could never give enough
To even begin to repay.
I sense the weight of debt paid.
My love and dedication falls short of this
Abundant grace as all the efforts of a world
That gives out of selfishness.
I often live in denial of what I must repay
Though I never could repay.
But the inclination must be there.
I carry the weight of debt paid.
I have learned to acknowledge the debt
And accept that I was debtor
To a weight that would surely have crushed me.
I have learned to freely give back
Of what was freely given to me.
I live under the weight of debt paid.

There is a price to pay for every negative action and reaction. This debt can become insurmountable after a while. There is a love which pays this debt in full. But even though grace is unmerited favour, love is not a one way street--you can never be free of responsibility.
When you learn this, you will find that the weight of being forgiven or forgiving, is worlds lighter than this weight of the personal & universal human debt you once owed. True freedom does not come cheap, but it is so worth it!
