He gave to me a seal
- He gave to me a seal
Of the great debt I owe
And as He gave, He smiled and said,
”Always, remember Me.”
- He gave to me a seal
All of my debts He paid
And as He gave, He smiled and said
”Always, remember Me.”
- I shall treasure the seal
Though, the debt is all paid
The seal told of the love of One
Who paid the debt for me.
- I looked at it and smiled
Again, I looked and wept
The earnest of His love for me
I’ll ever treasure it
- It is more than a seal
It is in remembrance
That all the debt of sin was paid
By Lord, Emmanuel. Amen.
