Jesus Paid It All

273 Jesus Paid It All

1 I hear the Savior say,
   "Your strength indeed is small!
   Child of weakness, watch and pray,
   Find in Me your 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 For nothing good have I
   Whereby Your grace to claim–
   I'll wash my garments white
   In the blood of Calv'ry's Lamb. [Refrain]

3 And when before the throne
   I stand in Him complete,
   "Jesus died my soul to save,"
   My lips shall still repeat. [Refrain]

2 Lord, now indeed I find
   Your pow'r, and Yours alone,
   Can change the leper's spots
   And melt the heart of stone. [Refrain]
