271. I Hear the Savior Say (Jesus Paid It All)

1 I hear the Savior say,
"Thy strength indeed is small,
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all."

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

2 Lord, now indeed I find
Thy power, and Thine alone
Can change the leper's spots
And melt the heart of stone. [Refrain]

3 For nothing good have I
Whereby Thy grace to claim;
I'll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calvary's Lamb. [Refrain]

4 And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete,
"Jesus died my soul to save,"
My lips shall still repeat. [Refrain]
