Jesus paid it all
All to him I owe
Sin hath left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow
These lyrics have been running through my head all day today. Its the chorus to an old hymn that was actually written in 1865 (I actually googled it because I wanted to read all the verses again). I can't remember the last time I've actually sung this in church as our church doesn't play old hymns very often, but I obviously heard it a lot during my childhood since I can remember the words.
Today I am thankful for my salvation. I'm thankful that Jesus paid it all for me. I'm thankful that I don't have to DO anything, I can just accept the gift of Jesus dying for my sins (or as my four-year-old son Aaron likes to say 'Jesus died on my sins').
Yes! Definitely the greatest gift of all! And I love the old hymns--while I really do love worship/praise music at church, I am sad that my kids won't learn those beautiful hymns whose lyrics speak to the soul.
