When I Survey The Wondrous Cross - Fernando Ortega

[HouseOnARock]

I love the original version of this song. I get tired of artists redoing an already beautiful hymn. I am glad Fernando keeps it original

[Warriorqueen107]

This makes me choked up every time. Jesus did a great thing for us,but still,most of mankind thinks it's fictional.

Plus,people only believing some of the Bible. It is:BELIEVE ALL OR NONE. I love Jesus WITH ALL MY HEART. <3

[christinelouisew1]

Oh this is so beautiful!! The words, the musical arrangement, everything!! I am sure we will sing it in heaven!!!

[Moongold7]

It is said that Jesus' spiritual agony was so great that he hardly felt the physical pain He was forced to endure. We will never know, understand, or have to go through ourselves, such terrible suffering. Thank God He loved us so much that He chose to go through what He did, for believing in Him as our personal Saviour is the only way we can inherit ETERNAL LIFE! Praise God for His unspeakable gift, which begins the moment we are converted. There is NO other God, and we owe Him everything.

Bee-u-tee-full. That was. Does anyone have the original Circle be unbroken?

[UR2AwesomeGod]

I met my wonderful Saviour at the foot of this cross.  He crossed heaven for me and for you. He said come and receive, he took my sin and he gave me a new heart and put his spirit in me and is daily renewing my mind. He asked me to love him with all of my heart, with all of my soul and with all of my spirit, and love my neighbour as I would myself and go share him to others. I said I would.

One Person Has no Soul

[HurricaneTeen]

@killairmanable

They most certainly have a soul. Perhaps lost, but existing and loved by God nonetheless.

[killairmanable]

@HurricaneTeen I get that, im just saying that they have not accepted God nor Jesus, and chose to take it out on this specific video

[americansoccergod]

@killairmanable or maybe they just don't like this song. Stop judging man.

[Shawnium101]

God Bless. Wonderful Hymn. (:

[54car54]

wow....

Be still, and know that I am God; Psalm 46:10

From the Favorite Hymns of Promise Keepers CD.

Thank you, ffhurray

[creativeplanetjanet]

It's really difficult to pick a favorite hymn, but if I had to, I would pick this one. So simple, so beautiful, so complex - Fernando does it great justice.

God created polio, science cured it. God created small-pox, science cured it. God created leprosy, science cured it. God created 2 million illnesses,virusses, parasites, science found cures for many. God created infertility, science created in-vitro, and an estimated 15 million lives. 100.000 innocent children died a horrible death, beneath the rubble of their houses in Haiti. The allmighty didn``t lift a finger to help. Glory to god !!!

[TheDavid98435]

what a song it is Praise to God .such a wonderful voice God has given to u .i like this song very much

[nice0071]

Matt 7:21-24

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Many will say to me in that day,

Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils?

 and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them,

I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

WORSHIP GOD ALONE NOT 3 IN ONE HEAR OH ISREAL

THY LORD OUR LORD IS ONE

[9wang9]

best song ever

[luvwolvez]

This is my consecration hymn to Our God, NO ONE has ever sung it with such reverence and love. Thank you Fernando for using yur gift so beautfully.

[MrJackanthony]

Love this alternate tune

[jonstetson]

@MrJackanthony  This is the tune we grew up hearing. I never realized there was a different tune until I was in my early 20's. I still enjoy this tune best and enjoy singing it in a quartet.

[MrJackanthony]

@jonstetson yeah it always amazes me how the old hymns never loose their quality over time. i am a teen and my mom used to sing the other tune to me. I heard this tune recently when a guest did an acoustic version in a church. The choral arrangement must be amazing. Take care n God bless.

[tcmockiii]

@MrJackanthony I agree. Being an acoustic guitar player myself, it is always fun to take the old hymns and modernize them, but as well it is just as pleasing and beautifully sounding as the original compositions.

[MrJackanthony]

@tcmockiii cool. Yeah there's no reason we can't use the best of both worlds to give glory to god.

IS THE LIGHT JESUS?

[psalmnineteen]

@ABSTRACTTK1A Yes. The Bible says, in the book of John that "Jesus spoke to them, saying, 'I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.' " (John 8:12)

What sort of interest do you have in this topic, @ABSTRACTTK1A?

[TheFady2001]

love it

[Clinton52732]

This is the most heartfelt and meaningful rendition of this hymn I have ever heard!

[janetcoverdale]

This is my favorite hymn along with my favorite tune. The other tune is also beautiful, but I grew up with this one.

[shortytimmy]

nothing like the blood of the christ,thank you God gives us the salvation

[idignall]

Hi idignall Our hymnal has this with both Hamburg (this tune) and Rockingham Old, but I've actually never heard it sung to Rockingham, only this tune, . I think this tune fits the words better - Rockingham Old seems too jaunty

?????

this tune fits the words better than a tune you've never heard!!!

A tune you've never heard seems 'jaunty'??

Oh dear.

[anniefox40]

@idignall, Hi again, no, I didn't mean I've never heard Old Rockingham. I meant I've never heard "when I survey" sung to it. I've heard other hymns (words) sung to Old Rockingham but not "when I survey." Hope you had a glorious Easter! He is risen, Alleluia!

[boledle]

Isaac Watts wrote some 600 hymns. This is considered one of if not the best hymns written in the English language. Thanks for the posting with the backgrounds.

[Percussion97]

@boledle actuly he wrote over 700 but only 600 or so are ost Famous

[idignall]

that is the wrong tune

[anniefox40]

Hi idignall Our hymnal has this with both Hamburg (this tune) and Rockingham Old, but I've actually never heard it sung to Rockingham, either in church or on any recordings, only this tune, Hamburg. I think this tune fits the words better - Rockingham Old seems too jaunty for the immensity of the subject. What tune do you normally sing it to?

[PufferPhishPros]

I hope our communist lord jesus can help us legalize gay marriage, and marijuana.

[boledle]

Communism and atheist govs like Stalin's put guns to people's heads. No one's putting a gun to your head. Typical angry, hateful response ..

[PufferPhishPros]

what do you have against gay marriage?

If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell. Matthew 5:29

[romeo10101]

Can anyone tell me where I can find a version of When I Survey the Wondrous Cross in a minor key? We sang it that way in high school, and I think it adds a lot to the song.

[boogertoots]

Boy, a lot of truth in this hymn!!

All flesh is NOTHING without Jesus Christ the Saviour!

[quixandslightning57]

This is good

[kamajiboy]

Jesus is worthy of our praise!
