Lyrics of
Jesus Paid It All

Jesus Paid It All was written by Elvina M. Hall and set to music by John T. Grape. The lyrics were reportedly penned in 1865 while Elvina sat in the congregation of the Monument Street Methodist Church in Baltimore. During a meditative moment, she began to mull over the completeness of Christs sacrifice, jotting the lyrics on the back of an insurance flyer. Later on, Grapes music was combined with Halls words, and the song was first performed by ... the church choir. See more [+]

I hear the Saviour 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.

Lord now indeed I find
Thy power and thine alone
Can change the lepers 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 repeat

Jesus paid it all.
All to Him I owe.
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.

Oh praise the one who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead. (x6)

Jesus paid it all.
All to Him I owe.
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
He washed it white as snow.
He washed it white as snow.
