For ye are bought with a price:
therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. ― 1 Corinthians 6:20 Sixteen tons, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt; St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go: I owe my soul to the company store. ― Sixteen Tons (1947) How much do I owe God? for my body breath spirit + mind How much to call it even? to settle up this debt weighs on me Hear me a debt one cannot repay ever across all generations of time and throughout all eternity is not simply a debt it is . . . . . . indenturetude *** My child, you misunderstand― I hold no receipts; I repaid them every one I hold no debt; I canceled it jubilantly I hold no expectations; I fulfilled them all each jot and tittle thorn and lash every drop of blood I hold nothing to your account but my love freely given |
