Jesus Paid It All
John Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"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,
2 Lord, now indeed I find
Thy pow'r and Thine alone,
Can change the leper's spots
And melt the heart of stone.
3 For nothing good have I
Where-by 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. [Refrain
The lyrics of John Jones's song "Jesus Paid It All" depict a message of salvation and redemption through Jesus Christ.

Jesus paid the price for our sins on the cross, and we owe Him everything for that sacrifice. The imagery of sin being a "crimson stain" and Jesus washing it "white as snow" represents the power of forgiveness and cleansing that only Christ can offer. The second verse acknowledges that only through the power of God can we be changed and transformed, just like how He can heal a leper and soften a hard heart. The third verse reinforces that we have nothing to offer God but our sin and brokenness, and it is only through the blood of Jesus that we can be made clean. The final refrain reaffirms the saving power of Christ and how we will continue to praise Him for it.
Overall, the lyrics of "Jesus Paid It All" offer a message of hope and salvation through the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ. It encourages believers to rely on Him completely for their strength and to remember the power of forgiveness and cleansing that only Christ can provide.
