It was almost a year ago, I woke to this song and wrote a morning message. I love the story behind this song and I will share what I wrote before.
"Jesus Paid It All" is one of those old beautiful hymns I have loved hearing my entire life. In 1865, Elvira Hall, sitting in the choir, listening to her pastor's sermon, wrote the words on the inside cover of a hymnal. After church, she gave the words to the minister. That same week, the church organist, John Grape, shared some new music, ""All To Christ I Owe", with the same pastor. The preacher thought the words written by Ms. Hall and the music of Mr. Grape kind of went good together and in a short time "Jesus Paid It All" became a hymn. God works in mysterious ways and this is an example and of how He used these three people to compose a hymn that has been a beloved song for many."
It was nothing that I could do that paid my sin debt in full. It was only through Jesus as He paid the price for me! The sin that left the crimson stain, He washed it white as snow!
I pray you will enjoy hearing "Jesus Paid It All" today!
I pray you will have a great Friday!
