[julorama67]

These lyrics paint an amazing picture of the depth of God's love for all of us.

[lovesColdplay]

Thank you for posting this. Such a classy video!

[BUTLERSUPERFAN]

does anybody know what bible verse this song is based on (if any)?

[lovesColdplay]

@BUTLERSUPERFAN Hi there, this song is based on Gal.6:14.

''Far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.''

[cucuyangel]

thanks God for the wonderful voice

[JeriRose2]

Why are some saying to take down the crosses from our churches so as not to offend people???

I am thankful for this song about the cross and those not afraid to take a stand for the cross!!!

[wqpeb]

God -thanks for this wonderful song from a wonderful lady. May the Lord keep you and guide you. Amen.

[SandraBellam]

does anyone know where i can get the sheet music and everything for this song?

[lovesColdplay]

@SandraBellam You will definitely find the music sheet of this song in any church Hymnal.

[lovesColdplay]

@SandraBellam Just found out that the Hymanl ahs a different tune with this Scott's verison. I don't have any idea where we can get this. Googling, perhaps? ;)

[Disneylover1023]

Powerful song!

[Jayplay17]

This song has deeply touched me (':

Reminds me of what Jesus has done for everyone of us. God Bless!

[chrissmissaert]

?? 22 people having a bad hair day! You go girl Glorify Him!

[OVUgirl]

Jesus asked, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" We need to ask, "My God, my God, why have you NOT forsaken me?" Only by the will of the Father and the power of the blood of the Son and the awakening of our mind by the Spirit that we have any hope. Why God bothers with us is a question that can't be answered. "Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my ALL."

[flowerleaf1]

we play this song almost every week at youth group its one of my favorites and im only 16 :) my calling is to be a worship leader so this song is very inspirational

[macanvard]

@flowerleaf1 tell me, "How do you survey the wondrous cross?"

[AllyMind5Star]

Thank you Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ for suffering and dying and spilling your blood that my paper of sins is washed clean. Soon, I'll join you at the Lamb's Supper fully! Praise you, 'O Lord.

[p0930x]

Praise you Jesus, Alleluia Praise you Jesus !

[topdownsheba]

i wish everyone a happy saint patricks day

[truhnel]

this video actually has dislikes??

[coolram52]

The tune is from an old English folk song from the 1600s called "The Water Is Wide". Check out Haley Westerna's version (she often sings with Celtic Woman) of that song. Kathryn Scott does a bang-up version of this adaptation.

[Superdanbot1]

awesome vidio

[jonmorr777]

XX Ruth >> it means that even if you offered God the whole of nature it would be too small and not sufficient enough compared to what Jesus done for us !! Hallelujah !!

[Mr666satanrules666]

Thank god for 9\11

[xxRuthiexx94]

I love this song so much it is so beautiful but i don't actually understand what the first two lines in the last verse means. i feel really stupid asking this :/ would some one care to explain them to me please? thank you soo much :D

[Lotr1024]

@xxRuthiexx94

I assume you mean

'Were the whole realm of nature mine,

That were an offering far too small'

It means that his love is so great, that we can't just give everything we have to him we have to give him everything we are and everything we do.

[saloneffects]

this just warms my soul. her voice is gorgeous

[SvsRsonic]

I saw a band named Skillet do this song, and it made me tear up, I really love this song. Paise God.

[Princess4Hvn]

Very well sung! Beautiful music! Amazing words!

[cindeemorgan]

Amazingly beautiful! Thank you for posting. God bless!

Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do..."

[dexterthiam88]

Like how you present the lyrics in this vid.. like the background too. suits the song well... if this can replace the power point in praise and worship that would be good, except that the words should be shown earlier.

Psalm 55 v 22 Cast your cares upon the Lord and he will sustain you, He will never let a good person down :)

[Undergottensnotten]

I sang the first verse of this hymn from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, in the same room where the True Cross was found.

[ELITAH7]

Nicole, of Northern Lakes Evangelical church Australia, sung it just like this n sooooo glad to hear, Kathryn, have it to share for ALL to hear. L-O-V-E IT!!!!:D Thanks be to God for sending his grace in the form of his Son to show what LOVE really is n non could ever compare. Love to ALL!!! ENJOY!!! Highly recommend it.

AYA HIRANO

[SmilerR1]

If you like this, then check out the version by Iona - it'll make the hair on the back of your neck stand up.

PS - I'm quite hairy :-)

[natashawasha]

This is absolutely STUNNING and breathtaking, it's so touching and really makes you stop and think, like happyslappysoong said, about the true theology. that's raw faith expressed :) X

[idrnoel]

Simply gorgeous! Deep message... so pure.

[happyslappysoong]

This is awesome. Not the bad Christian music churches are singing today. This is true theology! Not the watered down Jesus-is-my-boyfriend type stuff.

[BeEnReDeEmEd]

Amen. I always fall back to my true roots of southern gospel and its hymns. Truth convicts, which is what we all need in our lives.

[sneakytanderson]

jesus uses different types of music for different people. i mean showing teenagers traditional music gives them a bad stereotype. but i know wat you mean.

[fiamargret]

awesome!

[brad349miller]

Yea, WHY IS THIS THE WATER IS WIDE MUSIC? SO STUPID! Whoever the artist is isn't very good. They are horrible...

[CMajorDane]

the tune is also from an old Irish folk song called "The water Is Wide"

[x33JUSTshaz]

this is such a wonderful and soothing song. singing it at my church on sunday :)

[phillip78]

soothing song.

[happyslappysoong]

Who wrote this version?

[Staceyeb3030]

I believe Isaac Watts wrote this hymn

[happyslappysoong]

Yep, you're right. I was looking for who wrote this rendition. It is updated from the older hymn.

[Staceyeb3030]

The music is the tune "O Waly, Waly"

[karlschlaussen]

karlschlaussen

Thanks for the tune. Great Keltic melody and excellent music for Watts lyrics.

We sing it in our church.

[cmsttLoJC]

...the words and melodyproviding the this rendition provides the healing balm of Gilead to the lost and brokenHOLY reverence for the sacrifice HE made at Calvary...Christ crucified.

[cmsttLoJC]

Beautiful.  Sweet. Glorious.

[eternalsalt]

I absolutely love this particular rendition .

[ministerandman]

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...

[Enquiringmind777]

See from his head his hands his feet; sorrow and love flow mingled down. Did ere such love and sorrow meet; or thorns compose so rich a crown.

[kaisergrendel]

Should've ended with a question mark there :P

I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. This past Sunday (September 14) was Holy Cross Day. We sang this as our opening hymn. However, it was to the tune HAMBURG, composed by Lowell Mason. Just thought I'd share.

The tune is called "O Waly Waly" and dates back to the early 1600's. It is also known as "The Water is Wide". Googling either should return lots of links for you to find the music in just about any form you could wish for.

[m1garand00]
