The Wonderful Cross by Michael W. Smith Lyrics

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
See from His head, His hands, His feet
Sorrow and love mingled down
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Interlude]

[Bridge]
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all

[Post-Bridge]
And the beauty and the shame
In the glory of His name
O the wonderful cross...

[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental]
