Jesus Paid It All
Joslin Grove Choral Society 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,
Lord, now indeed 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.
And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete,
Jesus died my soul to save
My lips shall still bequeath.
Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
The lyrics of Joslin Grove Choral Society's song "Jesus Paid It All" speak to the idea that even in our moments of weakness, we can turn to Jesus for strength and support. The first verse acknowledges that we are human, and that our own strength is limited. We are invited to turn to Jesus through prayer, and to find completeness within the Savior. The chorus reiterates that Jesus paid for our sins in full and has washed away our stains. The final verse highlights the idea that, through Jesus, we have been given great power to change our spots and to melt the hearts of others.
The common thread throughout all of the verses is the idea that we owe everything to Jesus. Without Him, we are lost in our weaknesses and in our sin. However, through the sacrifice of the Savior, we are given redemption and the ability to stand complete before the throne of God. The lyrics remind us that even in our darkest moments, we have hope and that the love of Jesus can wash away everything that once held us back.
