You know when you just hear songs over and over again, and although they have fabulous words, you just lose the meaning of it because you like the song, or the tune, and you miss the words and their meanings... I love this song already, it has a close place in my heart, and I just love it, but then you get guys like Chris Tomlin and Matt Redman coming together and doing this already fabulous song, then placing a refrain in the middle of it, it just brings new life to the song, its amazing-ness is re hi-lighted (I know thats really bad of me, as an English student to say those kind of non existent words, but hey!~nevermind!)
How fab are these 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 ever such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown
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
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
~so challenging.
