Paid on account, in the ledger of life
Entries are written with faultering pen.
Paid on account, (to the one who has saved me)
over and over is written again.
Paid on account, please find one helping hand
quickly outstretched, to a brother in need,
Paid on account a travailing in prayer,
for souls unto Him who will e'er intercede!
A cup of cold water, paid on account,
offered to sufferers in Jesus dear Name
Paid on account, when were wrongly accused,
yet meekly and humbly accepting the blame
Paid on account, thru it's manifold pages
Day after day, on and on, do they go.
From grateful and loving hearts, down thru the ages,
Seeking to balance the great debt they owe.
But till by grace, when we reach heavens portals
and the ledger is read at the Masters command,
will be the Blest of all unworthy mortals,
when we read, Paid in full!, signed by Jesus own hand.

my aunt had written many beautiful Christian poems and I am happy that I can share them with this community..
