Demands My Soul, My Life, My All
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.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.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 a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
[When I Survey the Wondrous Cross, Isaac Watts]

Kate,
I was just reading this song yesterday, and even recorded in my journal all the words.
Sometimes I find myself just singing at church and not really thinking about what I’m singing. But when you stop and listen to what you’re singing, the words can be amazing! I love the words to this hymn.
