Jesus Paid it All

A sermon that made Elvina Hall’s mind wander, and a new tune by musician John Grape, came together to form one the great hymns about the price Jesus paid for our sins. How wonderful that we don’t have to pay our way to God, because Jesus has already done so.

Lyrics:
1. I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small,
Child of weak-ness, watch and pray;
Find in Me thine all in all.”

Refrain:
Jesus paid it all;
All to Him I owe.
Sin had left a crimson stain;
He washed it white as snow.

2. Lord, now indeed I find
Thy power, and Thine alone
Can change the leper’s spots
And melt the heart of stone.

3. For nothing good have I
Whereby Thy grace to claim;
I’ll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb.

4. And when, before the throne,
I stand in Him complete,
“Jesus died my soul to save,”
My lips shall still repeat.
