I had a debt I could not pay

1
I had a debt I could not pay,
He paid the debt He did not owe,
I needed someone,
To wash my sins away.
And now I sing a brand new song,
“Amazing grace” all day long,
Christ Jesus paid the debt,
That I could never pay.
2
But that’s not all,
Christ lives in me,
I once was blind but now I see.
It pleased the Father
To reveal the Son in Me,
That I become the same as He;
Christ now is being formed in me
Till all my death is swallowed up in victory.

Beautiful song but still wondering why there are no more stanzas or does anyone know a second stanza to this hymn?

I love the music to this song, and would love to know if it's a song that I can record on my own CD and credited to the site. How would that work?

New stanza:

So now my debt is fully paid

And I have peace—night and day

I am not guilty—my sins are washed away

Now I can sing that brand new song

Amazing grace, all day long

Christ Jesus paid the debt

That I could never pay.
