Meditation of melody

Hey hope everyone is doing great! Its been a little quiet lately on my end, but its more because i am taking some time out to walk through some issues in my own personal life. But again, i want to share with you all this season of lent something that i have been able to do in my quiet time. I heard this song at church, and i decided to focus on the lyrics and share a little what this song means to me. I think Han Wei will know this one lah. . . .possibly aiching, KC and Lily also? Come to think of it, most of u should know this lah. Except small boy Alvin and not-so-small-girl Sandra!!!

I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small;
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all.”

Refrain:
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 pow’r, and Thine alone,
Can change the leper’s spots
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.

O praise the One who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead

[I hear the savior say] A most intimate and powerful way to begin the hymn. Did Jesus send a letter? Pass the message to soemone else? No. Jesus speaks to me in the first person - something we must always remember - that the mediums may vary, but God speaks to us personally!!!

[Find in me thine all in all] Another intimate offer. Instead of limiting the reward / consolation / joy to something external, god associates with His very being. And being God, He is definitely capable of satisfying all!!! Reminds me of the time God told Abraham that He would be His great reward.

[Jesus Paid it all; all to Him i owe] The paradox of Christianity, freedom from sin to slavery to Christ. 'nuff zed. =D

[And melt the heart of stone] My heart melts too every time i sing this line . . . .

[Shall rend the vaulted skies] What a glorious transition and a great picture of our passing. As we lay on our death bed frail and weak, the next step is a powerful resurrection that can set assunder even the vaulted firmaments of eternity! awesome awesome awesome line there!!!!! And you know, this gets me thinking - if even in death we have such great victory, how much more in the petty struggles of this life?

[I'll lay my trophies down, Alll down at Jesus feet] this hymn begins with a stature of humility and weakness and frailty, and also ends with us prostrate at His feet. Gosh what a beautiful way to end a beautiful hymn.

[Chorus] You all have to hear this version on youtube! Such a wonderful thing to see that modern hearts can revive such a beautiful song in such a classic yet relevant way.
