Life Song

For some reason I just this week discovered Kristian Stanfill's "Jesus Paid It All" (the old hymn made new). The anthem has been echoing in my heart and mind for days, driving me to weep and praise spontaneously. I posted it in video form below, but I would suggest scrolling past the actual video, turning up the volume, and singing along with the lyrics. The truth heralded in this song is the truth, the gospel. And there is nothing more profound, nothing sweeter. It is the very thing into which "angels long to look" and we, the elect, must now deem our life song. If these words do not penetrate your soul immediately, making you both glad and grateful, check yourself. Get more acquainted with your sin, and then get more acquainted with Jesus who died that you "might become the righteousness of God."



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

'Cause Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow

Lord now indeed I find
Thy pow'r and Thine alone
Can change the leper's spots
And melt the heart of stone

'Cause Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow
It's washed away
All my sin and all my shame

And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete
Jesus died my soul to save
My lips shall still repeat

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

Oh praise the One Who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead
Jesus
