183. 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."

Chorus:
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 pow'r, and Thine alone
Can change the leper's spots
And melt the heart of stone. [Chorus]

3 For nothing good have I
Whereby Thy grace to claim -
I'll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calv'ry's Lamb. [Chorus]

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