Jesus Paid it all, all to Him I owe,
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
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.
