Cancelled Debt (The Unforgiving Servant)

Verse 1 Ten thousand talents—I could never repay, Buried beneath every sin that I made. Justice stood waiting, the sentence was due, Nothing but judgment could ever break through. I fell to my knees with nothing to bring, No righteous defense before Heaven's King. Then mercy spoke louder than all I had done, The debt was erased by the grace of the Son. Pre-Chorus Who am I to chain another to debt that I see, When You shattered every link that held me? Chorus You tore up the record, You canceled my shame, Covered my darkness, called me by name. How can these hands clutch vengeance so tight, After You pulled me out into the light? Forgiven forever, my ransom is paid, Bought by the blood that the Savior displayed. I'll lay down the anger, let bitterness fall— The cross has forgiven far greater than all! Verse 2 A hundred denarii, a debt that was real, The wounds and the scars, the pain that I feel. But compared to the mountain You buried for me, It's dust in the shadow of Calvary's tree. Your mercy exposed what was hiding inside, The pride and resentment I tried to disguise. A heart that's been rescued can never remain A prison of hatred, resentment, and chains. Pre-Chorus Spirit, break these walls of stone; Make this heart reflect Your own. Chorus You tore up the record, You canceled my shame, Covered my darkness, called me by name. How can these hands, clutch vengeance so tight, After You pulled me out into the light? Forgiven forever, my ransom is paid, Bought by the blood that the Savior displayed. I'll lay down the anger, let bitterness fall— The cross has forgiven far greater than all! Bridge (Half-time breakdown) "Forgive us our debts..." As we forgive... Not by my strength— But the power You give. Mercy triumphs over judgment. Grace breaks every chain. A heart transformed by Jesus Christ Will never love its hate again. I won't keep a ledger— You nailed mine to the tree. The Judge became my Savior... Now His mercy lives through me! Final Chorus You tore up the record, You canceled my shame, My chains hit the ground, when You called my name. No longer a slave, to revenge or my pride, Your mercy forever will be my guide. I'll forgive, because You've first forgiven me, Set this captive heart, forever free. King of all mercy, forever I'll sing— All glory belongs to my Savior and King! Outro Seventy times seven... and still Your grace remains. A debt beyond counting... erased by Jesus' name. So let every heart that's been rescued proclaim: Mercy received... mercy proclaimed.
