Verse 1
There was a debt I owed
No chance that I could pay it
A chasm in my soul
No way I could escape it
But I was saved
When I found Jesus
Verse 2
My sin had sealed my fate
No way I could erase it
My future was a grave
No way I could have changed it but I was saved
When I found Jesus
Yes, I was saved when I found Jesus
Chorus
Hallelujah
Look what the Lord has done
Hallelujah
See how He's overcome
Nothing was left unfinished
All covered by His blood
Our victory is in Him
Look what the Lord has done
Verse 3
I've seen you part the seas
Step in the fiery furnace
You've always been with me
Almighty God, my fortress
Oh, I can't help but praise the name of Jesus
Oh, I can't help but praise the name of Jesus

Meaning & Inspiration
What The Lord Has Done is a testimony of rescue from debt and sin. The verses describe a debt that could not be paid, a chasm in the soul, a sealed fate and a future that was a grave, each answered with "I was saved when I found Jesus." The chorus cries Hallelujah, saying that nothing was left unfinished, everything is covered by His blood and victory is in Him.
The next verse recalls the seas parting and the fiery furnace, and the bridge says "Bless the Lord my soul," promising not to forget all He has done. These lines match Colossians 2:13-14, John 19:30 on the finished work, and Psalm 103:1-2. Strong declarative lines and a repeated refrain make it a joyful song of thanks.
