Jesus Paid It All
Kristian Stanfill 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
'Cause 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
'Cause Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow
It's white as snow, white as snow
It's washed away, it's white as snow
And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete
Jesus died my soul to save
My lips shall still repeat
'Cause Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow
He washed it white as snow
He washed it white as snow
You can't be silent
You can't hold it in
O praise the one, Jesus
Praise the one
O praise the one who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead
O praise the one who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead
O praise the one who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead
O praise the one who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead
O praise the one who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead
O praise the one who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead
Only Jesus
Only Jesus
The worthy one
The only one
The worthy one
Jesus paid it all
And all to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow
