When I Survey Songtext
von Tommee Profitt

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?

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


Oh, thank You for the cross
Oh, thank You for the cross
Love so amazing and so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all

Thank You for the cross
Oh, thank You for the cross
Oh, thank You for the cross
Your love poured out (on that wonderful cross)
The powerful, beautiful, glorious, wonderful cross

(Thank You for the cross) oh, thank You
(Thank You for the cross) for the love You gave
Replaced mine, thank You, Lord
(Thank You for the cross) oh
Your love poured out on that wonderful cross

Thank You for the cross
Oh, and thank You for the cross
Oh, thank You for the cross
Your love poured out on that wonderful cross
