Millennial Harp 45

Jesus Paid It All

Studio

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

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

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

3Since nothing good have I Whereby Thy grace to claim, I'll wash my garments white In the blood of Calvary's Lamb.

4And when before the throne I stand in Him complete, I'll lay my trophies down, All down at Jesus' feet.
