AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
Let the Music Speak
“Jesus paid |t AH”
Sam Eades
Writer
Has your mind ever wan
dered during a Sunday service?
Perhaps you started thinking
about other things-maybe what
occurred last week, or plans
for the coming week or what
you will have for lunch after
Church and who will you go
with? Honestly, I have done
this exact thing along with
passing notes to a friend to let
them know what I was planning
after Church. Or as a Minister
of Music, sending a note to the
pianist to let them know I was
changed my mind on the invita
tion song.
Something just like this
happened to the writer of this
familiar hymn.
On a hot summer Sunday
morning in 1865, Mrs. Elvina
Hall (1820-1889) was found in
her normal place in the church
choir loft. But as the words of
the Reverend Schrick’s sermon
went on and on, her thoughts
drifted to other things. She
pondered the meaning of the
cross, and the storied scene
flashed before her mind’s eye.
High upon a rocky crag,
three crosses scarred the after
noon sky. On the outer gibbets,
hung two notorious thieves.
Below, Roman soldiers drank
and gambled, waiting for death
to overtake the poor wretches
suspended above them. It was
a public execution, but far more
significant than they imagined
at the time. Suddenly, the air
grew dense and darkness in
vaded the scene.
As the soldiers gazed about
them in superstitious dread,
a triumphant cry pierced the
gloom. It came from the figure
on the center cross. Only Three
words "It is Finished." Then, he
was dead. But it had another
meaning back then. It was an
accounting term. When a bill
was paid, it was commonly
stamped with the word “Tete-
lestai,” meaning Paid in Full.
And that is precisely what the
death of Christ accomplished.
And he knew it.
As the pastor’s continued, it
seemed as if the minister was
not concerned at all about lunch
or the delicious apple pies that
were sitting on the window
sill. Mrs. Hall then took up
her hymn book and, turning to
a blank page inside the cover,
she began to write the words
that are now know as "Jesus
paid it all".
After he finally finished
and the service was over, she
presented the pastor with some
simple lines of poetry-not
likely telling him when they
were written! Glancing at
them, the pastor was reminded
of something
that had
happened
just that
week. The
church or
ganist, John
Grape had
composed a
new hymn
tune, with
no words in
mind. He
passed it
on to Pas
tor Schrick,
suggesting
they might
find a use for it in future.
Stepping into his study, the
pastor laid Mrs. Hall’s poem
next to the lines of music. In
surprise, he saw they fit one
another like hand in glove. “In
deed, God works in mysterious
ways!” he thought. Little did
he know, the words and tune
were going to be a hymn that
has been sung over many years.
The music and words have
been partners ever since, in the
hymn, “Jesus Paid It All.”
Through the song, we confess
our inability to save ourselves,
and our utter dependence on
what Christ accomplished on
the cross. Sing with me, and let
the words speak to you.
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 power
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
My sin had left this 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.
Perhaps you sent a lovely card,
or sat quietly in a chair.
Perhaps you sent a Floral piece.
If so, we saw it there.
Perhaps you spoke the
KINDEST WORDS
As ANY FRIEND COULD SAY;
Perhaps you were not there at all.
Just thought of us that day,
whatever you did
TO CONSOLE OUR HEARTS.
We thank you so much
whatever the part.
