Kirk Franklin and the Family's song "Jesus Paid It All" presents the Christian doctrine of salvation through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. The opening lyrics, "Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe," suggest that the singer recognizes the complete forgiveness and redemption they have received through Christ's sacrifice, and they feel a sense of indebtedness and gratitude toward Jesus. The repetition of the phrase "sin had left a crimson stain" emphasizes the idea that human sin leaves a lasting mark on the soul, but Jesus' sacrifice is powerful enough to cleanse and purify even the deepest stain of guilt.
The chorus of "He washed Him, Whiter than snow" echoes the imagery of Psalm 51:7, "Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow," which speaks to the transformative power of God's forgiveness. The use of repetition in the song emphasizes the unchanging, eternal nature of Christ's sacrifice and the grace that it offers to all who confess their sins and turn to him.
Overall, "Jesus Paid It All" is a powerful hymn of praise and thanksgiving, emphasizing the Christian belief in salvation through faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Who still watching this in 2021? Nothing like Kirk and the Family! Yesss! This is actually what led me to even try or like gospel in my early 20's. I'm 44 now, and it's been a beautiful journey ever since then.😁
