What's this song about?

1
My sister's little boy came in the kitchen one evening
2
While she was fixing supper
3
And he handed her a piece paper he had been writing on
4
And after wiping her hands on an apron
5
She took it in her hands and read it
6
And this is what it said:
7
For mowing the yard five dollars
8
And for making up my own bed this week one dollar
9
For going to the store fifty cents
10
And playing with little brother while you went shopping twenty five cents
11
Taking out the trash one dollar
12
And for getting a good report card five dollars
13
And for raking the yard two dollars
14
Total owed one fourteen seventy five
15
Well she looked at him standing there and expecting
16
And a thousand memories flashed through her mind
17
So she picked up pen and turned the paper over and this is what she wrote:
18
For the nine months I carried you holding you inside me $ no charge
19
For the nights I sat up with doctored you and prayed for you $ no charge
20
For the time and tears and the costs through the years
21
There is no charge
22
When you add it all up the full cost of my love is $ no charge
23
For the nights filled with grey
24
And the worries ahead
25
For the advice and the knowledge
26
And the costs of your college
27
There is no charge
28
For the toys, school, and clothes
29
And for wiping your nose
30
There's no charge son
31
When you add it all the full cost of my love is no charge
32
Well you know when I think about that
33
I think about the day that Jesus went out to Calvary and gave his life as a ransom for me
34
When I think on the words "if any man be in Christ he's a new creature"
35
I like to think about the very minute that he shed his blood
36
My debt was paid in full
37
And I want you to know today
38
When you add it all up
39
The full cost of real love is no charge
