This is a brand new song that I just wrote last week.

Debt Free

Woke up this morning worrying what bills I can pay,
it seems they're piling up more everyday.
when that trumpet sounds, they won't bother me,
Jesus wiped away my sins, I'll be leaving debt free.

Debt free, by the blood of the lamb,
debt free, from the great I am.
He paid the price for me at Calvary.
Debt free, I've been all washed clean
Debt free, do you know what I mean,
he paid my way to heaven I 'll be living debt free.

I lived in sin, many many years ago,
I didn't go to church and Jesus I didn't know,
then one night at an altar, he found me,
He said you'll be leaving this world, and you'll be debt free.

Debt free, by the blood of the lamb,
debt free, from the great I am.
He paid the price for me at Calvary.
Debt free, I've been all washed clean
Debt free, do you know what I mean,
he paid my way to heaven I 'll be living debt free.

Debt free, by the blood of the lamb,
debt free, from the great I am.
He paid the price for me at Calvary.
Debt free, I've been all washed clean
Debt free, do you know what I mean,
he paid my way to heaven I 'll be living debt free.
he paid my way to heaven, I'll be living debt free,
He paid my way to heaven, I'll be living debt free.

I agree with Dan.

If you had written this a few years ago I would have heard it on HeeHaw, i.e. their gospel quartet!

Great vocal, backing band, and mix.

Loved it.

Nice one Ronnie,
It's a classic country band and arrangement.
Your harmonies are ace.
Better hope those caught in the mortgage/inflation/cost of living crisis don't sop listening after the 1st verse though.

Peppy classic country! laugh

Fun take on the idea, nice drop at the end with the vocals.

Nice vocals (and harmonies) all around!

Love it, Ronnie!! Fine bouncy feel and excellent lyrics. Fun band, too. Cool story song about finding Jesus. Very creative look at our debts, and a fine disregard for our current money-value system.

Hi Ron,

At first I thought: A happy song!
But when I read the lyrics more closely, I thought the exact opposite.
Well, the melody sounfds happy, and worth to sing with a gospel choir, but then you were made debt free to go to heaven.
That is heavy!
Or maybe I misinterpreted your lyrics.

But it is a very nice song and also very good you could make it within a week!

Hi Ronnie ...

Classic country gospel. I could hear the Oak Ridge Boys or The Gaithers singing this. Love the vocal harmony! Good job in all respects! Nicely done, Ronnie.

Best to you ...

Alan
