Jesus Paid it All

I think this may be my new favorite song. I've heard it a couple of times before. We sang it a church yesterday and I wanted to look more closely at the words. I recognize them as on old hymn, but there is an updated verse added to the end that really touches me. I thought I would share the video with you.




Here are the words.

Oh Praise The One Who Paid My Debt
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.”

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


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

And now complete in Him
My robe His righteousness,
Close sheltered ’neath His side,
I am divinely blest.

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

When from my dying bed
My ransomed soul shall rise,
“Jesus died my soul to save,”
Shall rend the vaulted skies.

And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete,
I’ll lay my trophies down
All down at Jesus’ feet.

Oh praise the one who paid my debt
And raises life up from the dead.

Oh praise the one who paid my debt
And raises life up from the dead.

I used to sing and listen to this song all the time when we lived in Sioux City. It used to be on the radio station I would listen to, but I haven't heard it for years now and never knew some of the verses. Thanks for the reminder!!
