Letra de
Jesus Paid It All

La canción Jesus Paid It All fue escrita por Elvina M. Hall y musicalizada por John T. Grape. Supuestamente, la letra fue escrita en 1865, mientras Elvina estaba sentada en la congregación de la Iglesia Metodista de la Calle Monument en Baltimore. Durante un momento de reflexión, comenzó a contemplar la totalidad del sacrificio de Cristo, escribiendo la letra en el reverso de un folleto de seguros. Más tarde, la música compuesta por Grape se unió ... a las palabras de Hall, y la canción fue presentada por primera vez por el coro de la iglesia. Ver más [+]

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.
