Shirley Caesar Lyrics - No Charge
And he handed her a piece Of paper he'd been writing on And after wiping her hands on an apron She took it in her hands and She read it and this is what it said
For mowing the yard, five dollars And for making up my own Bed this week, one dollar For going to the store, fifty cents And playing with little brother while You went shopping, twenty-five cents
For taking out the trash, one dollar And for getting a good report card Five dollars, and for raking The yard, two dollars Total owed, fourteen seventy-five
Well, she looked at him Standing there and expecting And a thousand memories Flashed through her mind
So she picked up the pen And turned the paper over And this is what she wrote
For the nine months I carried you Growing inside me, no charge For the nights I sat up with you Doctored you, prayed for you No charge
For the time and the tears and The cost through the years There is no charge When you add it all up The cost of my love is no charge
For the nights filled with dread And the worries ahead, no charge For advice and the knowledge And the cost of your college No charge
For the toys, food and clothes And for wiping your nose There's no charge, son When you add it all up The full cost of my love Is no charge
Well, you know when I think about that I think about the day that Jesus Went out and gave his life As a ransom for me
When I think on the words If any man be in Christ He's a new creature
I like to think about the very Minute that he shedded his blood My debt was paid in full
And I want you to know today When you add it all up The full cost of real love Is no charge
