Jesus paid it all

One reason I love this song is because it welcomes the weak.

It starts with Jesus saying He knows that my strength is small and that I am a child of weakness.

But then He says I can find my all in all in Him — because He paid it all on the Cross.

Before the throne

I also love how the last verse pictures us standing before God’s Throne at the end of history.

At that moment — because He paid it all — we will stand in Christ complete.

Picture it.  And worship.

Jesus Paid It All

I hear the Savior say, “Thy strength indeed is small;
Child of weakness, watch and pray, Find in Me thine all in all.”

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

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

(Chorus)

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

(Chorus)

O Praise the one who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead
O Praise the one who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead
O Praise the one who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead
O Praise the one who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead
