Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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.
#2
Lord, now in-deed I find,
Thy power, and thine alone,
Can change the leper's spots,
And melt the heart of stone.
Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
#3
For nothing good have I,
Where-by the grace to claim;
I'll wash my garments white,
In the blood of Calvary's Lamb.
Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow
Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
O praise the one who paid my debt and raised his life up from the death * 3
JESUS
PAID IT ALL is a powerful worship song that depicts the story of the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The lyrics convey the message that no matter how little our strength may be, through prayer, we find everything we need in Him. The first verse talks about how Jesus washed away our sins that left a crimson stain, symbolising the weight of the guilt and shame of our transgressions. The second verse emphasises that the power to change our lives only comes from God, while the third verse speaks of our inability to claim God's grace because of our sinfulness. However, we can be made white as snow by the blood of Calvary's Lamb, Jesus Christ. The chorus affirms that Jesus paid our debt in full, and we owe it all to Him. The song concludes with a triumphant shout of praise "O praise the one who paid my debt and raised his life up from the death!"
JESUS PAID IT ALL was written by Elvina M. Hall in 1865, and it has become an enduring hymn in the Christian community.
