A Sabbath Song


Click to listen





The Wonderful Cross- Isaac Watts, adapted and modified by Chris Tomlin

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride

See from his head, his hands, his feet
Sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did ever such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown

O the wonderful cross,
O the wonderful cross
Bids me come and die
and find that I may truly live

O the wonderful cross,
O the wonderful cross
All who gather here by grace draw near
and bless Your name

Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were an offering far too small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all

Yes, I can hear the song. And it is a GREAT one!!! We love singing this in our small group Bible study in our home.

I love it too. My favorite part is verse 2:

See from his head, his hands, his feet
Sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did ever such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown

What beautiful imagery. And what love!
