Jesus Paid It All

Hymns have always been one of my absolute favorite things to sing.  The truths they hold and the stories that are behind them are fascinating to me.  This one has been playing on repeat in my head this week and I just wanted to share it.  Perhaps you need to be reminded of the Truths that are inside these simple lyrics.

I hear the Savior 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

He is our all in all - our EVERYTHING.  He knows that we are weak...it's not a secret.  He created us that way so that we would need to depend on Him.  So that no matter what circumstance we find ourselves in, we can confidently sing...

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine

Oh what a foretaste of glory divine,

heir of salvation, purchase of God,

born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

This is my story, this is my song,

praising my Savior, all the day long.

This is my story, this is my song,

praising my Savior, all the day long.
