The Wonderful Cross by Acquire The Fire Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 2001

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
Bid me come and die and find that I may truly live

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

Oh, the wonderful cross
Oh, the wonderful cross
Bid 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
Oh, the wonderful cross
Oh, the wonderful cross
Bid me come and die and find that I may truly live

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast
Save in the death of Christ, my God
All the vain things that charm me most
I sacrifice them to His blood

Oh, the wonderful cross
Oh, the wonderful cross
Bid 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

O, the wonderful cross
O, the wonderful cross
Bid 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
