Jesus Paid It All

This morning in church we sang a sweet hymn that touched my heart. I have always loved this precious song.

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. For nothing good have I
Whereby Thy grace to claim;
I’ll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb.
3. And now complete in Him,
My robe, His righteousness,
Close sheltered ’neath His side,
I am divinely blest.
4. Lord, now indeed I find
Thy pow’r, and Thine alone,
Can change the leper’s spots
And melt the heart of stone.
5. When from my dying bed
My ransomed soul shall rise,
“Jesus died my soul to save,”
Shall rend the vaulted skies.
6. And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete,
I’ll lay my trophies down,
All down at Jesus’ feet.

The few weeks before I left Kenya were stressful. I arrived on American soil worn out and weary. I'm slowly recovering from the exhaustion. My time with the Lord has been intimate and fulfilling. This song brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. My strength indeed is small but in Him I can find my all in all! It is His power and His alone that is renewing me daily. When focusing on Christ and all that He has done for me I find that I can conquer any trial that comes my way. Oh how sweet salvation is!
