This song was inspired by "The Way of the Master". The modern church needs a good dose of understanding and discernment as to why it is not the "method" that matters, but the urgent message of the Gospel.
He Paid My Fine
Verse 1:
What have you got say for yourself?
You’re guilty of this crime
You broke the law Justice calls
For you to pay a fine
He says I’m usually a good person
But this time I messed up
Would you let me off? Consider all
The good things I have done
But this time I messed up
Would you let me off? Consider all
The good things I have done
You may be a good person
But I must be a good judge
We’re here concerning just one thing
And nothing else you've done
But I must be a good judge
We’re here concerning just one thing
And nothing else you've done
You owe 50 thousand dollars
But judge I’m broke
Then you most serve a term in prison
There went his hope
A stranger walks up
And starts turning heads
Says to the judge
Here is the check
But judge I’m broke
Then you most serve a term in prison
There went his hope
A stranger walks up
And starts turning heads
Says to the judge
Here is the check
Chorus 1:
And the Judge accepts it and the case is closed
The town said never’s such a story been told
It was on the news, it was in the paper
He told the reporter that man was my savior
I did a crime
He paid my fine
And the Judge accepts it and the case is closed
The town said never’s such a story been told
It was on the news, it was in the paper
He told the reporter that man was my savior
I did a crime
He paid my fine
Verse 2:
Then he hurried after the stranger
And found that he remained
There’s no way I can repay
He struggled to explain
Then he hurried after the stranger
And found that he remained
There’s no way I can repay
He struggled to explain
But the stranger only smiled and said
I’m really just like you
I thought I was a good person
But I came up short too
I’m really just like you
I thought I was a good person
But I came up short too
I’m not always a good person
But He’s always a good judge
One the day I die I’d have to answer crimes
No matter what I've done
But He’s always a good judge
One the day I die I’d have to answer crimes
No matter what I've done
I would have to owe my soul
Day of Judgment
I would have to lose control
To punishment
A stranger shed His blood
Barely turning heads
Says to the judge
Here is the check
Day of Judgment
I would have to lose control
To punishment
A stranger shed His blood
Barely turning heads
Says to the judge
Here is the check
Chorus 2:
And the judge accepts it and the case is closed
It’s the greatest story ever to be told
It should be on the news; it should be in the paper
If they interviewed me I’d proclaim my savior
I did some crimes
He paid my fine
And the judge accepts it and the case is closed
It’s the greatest story ever to be told
It should be on the news; it should be in the paper
If they interviewed me I’d proclaim my savior
I did some crimes
He paid my fine
Bridge:
He left him feeling grateful
Yet not quite let go
I may be a free man
But am I a free soul?
If a stranger paid my check
Then the one who
Paid the check for Him will pay
For mine too
He left him feeling grateful
Yet not quite let go
I may be a free man
But am I a free soul?
If a stranger paid my check
Then the one who
Paid the check for Him will pay
For mine too
Chorus 3:
And the judge accepts it and the case is closed
It’s his favorite story ever to be told
So he tells his friends and he tells strangers
A stranger led me to my savior
I did some crimes
He paid my fine
And the judge accepts it and the case is closed
It’s his favorite story ever to be told
So he tells his friends and he tells strangers
A stranger led me to my savior
I did some crimes
He paid my fine
