Medle: He Saw Me/Jesus Paid It All

On the balcony of space

stepped a pure and holy god

And in all solitude

he stood alone.

Not one faint star to give him light

just endless rolling blackest night.

But somehow through all the darkness

he could see.

He saw mountains high and lofty

he saw valleys lush and green

he saw babbling brooks wildflowers growing even heard a robin sing.

But he felt a strange compassion as close to love as pain can be

standing out there in his tomorrow

he saw me.

He saw me in his likeness

he saw me just like him.

Pure

clean

and holy spotless white within.

But he saw me bound in heavy chains and low to set me free

but he knew if i became like him he must become like me.

Jesus laid it all

all to him i go

sin had left the crimson sow

he washed it white as snow.

I hear the Savior say

“Thy strength indeed is small;

Child of weakness

watch and pray

Find in Me thine all in all.”

Jesus paid it all

All to Him I owe;

Sin had left a crimson stain

He washed it white as snow.

For nothing good have I

Whereby Thy grace to claim;

I’ll wash my garments white

In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb.

And now complete in Him

My robe

His righteousness

Close sheltered ’neath His side

I am divinely blest.

Lord

now indeed I find

Thy pow’r

and Thine alone

Can change the *leper’s spots [*leopard’s]

And melt the heart of stone.

When from my dying bed

My ransomed soul shall rise

“Jesus died my soul to save

”

Shall rend the vaulted skies.

And when before the throne

I stand in Him complete

I’ll lay my trophies down

All down at Jesus’ feet.
