the wonderful cross

Singer:matthew west

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

forbid it lord that i should boast

safe in the death of christ my guide

all living things that charm me most

i sacrifice them to his blood

o the wonderful cross

o the wonderful cross

bids me come and die and find that i may truly live

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

all who gather here by grace draw near and bless

your name

were the whole realm of nature mine

that were an offering far to small

love so amazing

so divine

demands my soul

my life

my all

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
