The Wonderful Cross

Well, I've just about finished going through yet another book for my term paper on Bismarck and his foreign policy regarding imperialism. It's is 4am on the morning of Good Friday and I thought I would put up one of my favorite songs by Chris Tomlin and performed with Matt Redman called "The Wonderful Cross". Here are the words:


"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 e'er such love and sorrow meet
or thorns compose so rich a crown?

Oh, the wonderful cross!
Oh, the wonderful cross
bids me come and die
and find that I may truly live.
Oh, the wonderful cross!
Oh, 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 off'ring far too small.
Love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all!

Oh, the wonderful cross!
Oh, the wonderful cross
bids me come and die
and find that I may truly live.
Oh, the wonderful cross!
Oh, the wonderful cross!
All who gather here
by grace draw near
and bless Your name."
