YOU IGNORANT PEOPLE !!!! the cross did not save you Jesus did , it just becomes another idol like the virgin mary praise Jesus !!! reply if I'm right , and also if you do your homework the cross is another form of sun worship , don't you see the sun in the background a duh, god is not the sun nor the cross hes outside of time in heaven preparing a place for us.
@giutar100 you cant say what God is and what he is not because He can be whatever He wants to be and you don't know what he is something and when He is that something
This song is Amazing =) I have Chris's newest CD which is called How Great is Our God: The Essential Collection, if you want to see the unboxing go to my channel
Okay then, so the song changes. Who wrote that song? Isaac Watts or God? 1 Corinthians 14:36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? In other words, Isaac Watts was just the "Transmitter". But God wrote the "Song" and the "Melody". 2 Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. Remember the "Prophecies" was sealed up in Psalms and Songs to! All God need is an empty vessel.
I love this sound, we even sing this song in our church. But NOT the way in which they have sang it here. For they have change and add they own chorus, Ooooh Myyy. :-(
When would people come to realize, WHEN GOD GIVE SOMETHING THE FIRST TIME, IT'S THE BEST THING HE'LL EVER GIVE. FOR WHEN HE GIVE SOMETHING HE GIVES HIMSELF.
@STaylor047 This is not about "Words". And I'm not even on Mr Chris or RedMan's case. Anyone can write nice words and add a tune to it.
But I'll tell you something, If you/anyone had any discernment, you/they would know that this beat is NOT coinciding/harmonizing with the words of this song. Straight forward, THAT'S A ROCK BEAT, If you have any idea of how ROCK does sound, you'll pick it up anywhere. If you don't believe it/me, go get some music theory.facts on beats of certain tune
I cannot believe how many are bashing on this song!! Where is your gift of discernment??? Can't you feel the anointing in the words??!!
Many of you are quoting scripture but I want to add.... BE CAREFUL, because you are forgetting one very important verse...... "TOUCH NOT MY ANOINTED AND DO MY PROPHETS NO HARM!!!" God will use who and what He wants and its not up you!! But I do know this song is anointed..... So pray and trust God... He knows what He is doing even if you don't or don't agree...
KNOW THIS FOR A "FACT". God Never Change. He's The Same Yesterday, Today And Forever.
For those who want some stimulation add to God Hymnals, Be VERY CAREFUL WHAT YOU"RE DOING.

My friend @ Historymaker2001 I'm 22 of age. And that's the truth. That's what catches the young people, it's the beat, NOT the words of the song. I challenge anyone on that. I'm a Musician, singer, music composer, song writer etc etc. God has blessed me with a lot.
But it's NOT to puff me up, but help the one's that are struggling.
Music carries "spirit". It's either of God or of Satan. You cannot have the two going together, for "TWO CANNOT WALK TOGETHER UNLESS THEY AGREED". A little leaven
@C14Horn I would tend to agree with you in most respects. No-one was ever saved from a good beat within a song. The spirit behind the song is what saved them - the spirit of God. However, I do know that modern youth find hymnals boring, and will look elsewhere for a musical stimulant. If the beat of a song is what first catches the ear, the spirit will follow.
Look people! Don't show up here and argue about a beat whether it is scriptural or not. God cannot be fooled. When was the last time you actually did something for someone? Go and help your neighbor... that's scriptural..sign up and volunteer in your local community, help make this world a better world by sharing your faith while helping others. Don't come here and put burdens you are not willing to touch on other people's shoulders. Don't cluster yourselves in your christian bubble only.
To clear it up: if the music doesn't glorify God, don't sing it. This song does; drums or not. Some people can't carry a beat if they tried: it's nice to have someone with a sense of rhythm help them out.
the difference. Because in 1 Samuel 16:23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
I DO NOT believe that it's the "Beat" that cast out the unclean evil spirit. But the "Spirit" behind the beat.
And correction please. That beat in that song will NEVER SAVE NO ONE. If you all claims that you are Christians, Please Be Scriptural and not carnal.
@ EVERYONE "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross", was written by Isaac Watts published in 1707. I am NOT against the words of the song. NO no, neither am I against Chris Tomlin and Matt Redman, NO, I'm against the "beat". And I'm not here to ague, but give a comment. Now many may agree to what you say, i don't have a problem with that. But know this for sure my friends. That "NO BEAT" has NEVER SAVED NO ONE, WILL NEVER SAVED NO ONE AND IS SAVING NO ONE.

This is a very beautiful song, you are forgiven for those who disliked and questioned the tune of it, you just need to learn more how to appreciate the message of God for you. The way how Matt Redman and Chris Tomlin delivered the composition of this song is very awesome and can touch many lives.
@C14Horn Yeah clearly. Cuz God didnt use this song to bring HeidiSue60 to repentance right? im pretty sure the beat of this song isn't what brought that person to God. and also, hymnals are flat out boring. Thats for old people. Teens and young adults need music to listen to that suits them. music is powerful. i dont care what kind of beat goes to it. it doesnt matter. God speaks through it.
@C14Horn Hymnals are boring. younger people typucally dont like hymnals. God likes us to sing and shout and dance. you cant really dance to a hymnal. its like being a zombie. no soul to it really. So with all due respect, your comment is dumb. that beat gives this song its feeling along with the words. And FYI, Chris Tomlin and Matt Redman are spirit filled Christians, who serve God. and they are AWESOME music artists. so that being said, God bless.

He gave his life up for us ,we did not deserve to be saved but perish. God gave his only son up to die. God had to turn his face from him and let him die. Because he had so much sin on him from us. SO WHEN YOU HEAR THE NAME JESUS YOU SHOULD FALL TO THE GROUND AND PRAISE HIM. There is NO ONE like our lord and savior Jesus Christ. Amen
Thanks for posting Fanofc,what wonderful duet,2 singers that i love,really you make me feel so good,the cross where our savior suffuring for our freedom,is so wonderful
@rudygetsplenty We don't idolize the cross, it's a symbol of the suffering death Jesus went through to pay for our sins. We understand it's not a cross that did that, or any of God's wonders, it just sums up everything Jesus did. Plus, MLK supporters don't walk around with sniper necklaces because MLK himself was a Christian pastor. If anything they'd just have crosses too.
@camilo101 LOL will you got me on the MLK one. Nevertheless, I wholeheartedly disagree with you. If I were to walk down the street disgracing the cross (spitting on it, whatever), how long do you think it would be before somebody became violent towards me?
@rudygetsplenty If anyone did confront you, it's not because they idolize the cross, it's the fact that the cross represents Jesus, therefore disgracing a cross in the public is like disgracing Jesus. Another example, if you were to disgrace the American flag, many Americans would get angry. Not because they idolize the flag, but because the flag represents our nation. We don't pray or worship to a cross, we worship God. The cross is serves as a reminder of Jesus' sacrifice, nothing more.
@camilo101 THANK YOU for proving my point. Saying that the cross represents Jesus IS IDOLATRY! It's a graven image! It's allowing a man made image to represent the lord. It's breaking the 2nd commandment. How hilarious that you would just come out and say it.
17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
You fail to understand the Spiritual meaning of the song . . . It is saying with out the pain Christ suffered on the cross, we would not have redemption, and our sin's could not be forgiven. Not idolizing the Cross itself but the suffering of our Lord and Savior. Peace to you in Christ Jesus
@KorinaVee I'm not talking about the song, I'm talking about the concept. The REAL verse is "For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.". The fact that the verse is changed in the NIV only serves as evidence that Christians have turned to idolatry, and that they worship the cross. There is danger and evil in holding the Cross to be holy; those who revere it have been swayed by false prophets.
@rudygetsplenty To me both versions of this verses say the same thing. The real truth is . . . The Cross of Christ it is more then the image you see around someones neck, in a picture or in the thought that it is a graven image. You seem knowledgeable enough, so I am sure you understand the Cross is that Christ came to take on the sin's of the world, by becoming the perfect sacrifice. This is not a song about an image, but the true cross of Christ.
@KorinaVee Wonderful concept... the Cross is not just the "wood"! The "cross" is the Sacrifice of our Saviour Jesus Christ. The place where his blood was shed for the whole world's sin and the starting point for each persons redemption.... The blood which cleanses us from all sin
@rudygetsplenty You're confused about what a graven image is. A graven image is something you WORSHIP, not merely something that represents a spiritual concept symbolically. Otherwise you'll have to accuse God of commanding the Hebrews to idolatry with the vast descriptions of the Temple and Tabernacle, especially how they were supposed to create golden images of cherubim.
@camilo101 I forgot; what's really a disgrace is using violence in the name of Jesus. But what's REALLY a disgrace is a "Christian" attempting to defend it.
Why do Christian worship the cross? I mean aside from that whole 2nd Commandment thing, isn't it just in poor taste in general? I mean, do Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s supporters walk around with little sniper rifle necklaces?
this song was performed in my church in english and spanish, and while i was listening to it, i experienced a feeling that came into me and completely surrounded me. it was a feeling of tranquility and serenity deep within me. i truly experienced the Holy Spirit that night and five days later i re-accepted Christ into my life.
To give us everlasting grace and to show His unfailing love that we do not deserve, He suffered a death so cruel that He did not deserve. He is God, truly benevolent and caring and although we stray everyday, He patiently, loving waits for us to return to call us His own. How can we ever re-pay Him? We love You Jesus!
Who would have thought that such amazing events unfolded when this man was crucified that day. Can you imagine the surprise satan would off got. Jesus turning up on his door step to take back the keys of life we had given him from the beginning of time. Oh death where is thy sting. Jesus giving us the power to say get behind me satan. The things we use to be addicted too, no longer have a hold on us when we bring it to Jesus. Amazing. 1Cor 15 vs 55, Col 2 vs 15, and Rev 1 vs 17.
Some of the most loved and awe-inspiring hymns were written by Charles Wesley. (1707-1788). Charles Wesley wrote over 6,000 hymns, many of which are anthems today.
"When I Survey the Wondrous Cross" was written by Isaac Watts. (1674-1748)
Wesley claimed that he would have gladly given up EVERY song he ever wrote to have written, "W.I.S.t.W.C." Can you imagine such a statement??
Matt leads great worship along with a new christian band called Red Letter Hymnal. They both have awesome songs on youtube and itunes too for that matter
He died to bring a profane, sinful and grossly ignorant world to Him-such amazing love. Let us follow in His example. The enemy clearly does not like this message
The Lord used this song to bring me to repentance four years ago. He showed me Himself, full of tears and sorrow, with blood and tears on His face under the crown of thorns...and *I* was doing it to Him! Oh, it broke my heart, and I turned it all over to Him. Thank you, Christ Tomlin for doing this song. It absolutely blessed me.
Remember this song when the moonies are getting all churches to remove their crosses in your church. The cross offends the wicked and by listening to the sinners to remove the cross from all churches is a mortal sin. Any major church confrence where many churches join to trade ideas and morals and see a moonie to get you to remove the cross. DENY them at every moment!
Where can I get the background that you used here? I'd like to use it in one of our church services for the power point background. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
@SamWiseGingy - Woulda shoulda coulda. He was. Tolkien seemed like a pretty smart guy. He didn't like reading Shakespeare because it was too contemporary. The guy was steeped in mythology. If Christianity had read like mythology to him, I'm sure he would have had enough sense to reject it. He was also a contemporary and good friend of a little known writer named C.S. Lewis, who also knew the difference between mythology and history.

There is no name higher, no name more holy, no name more beautiful, no name more powerful than the name above all names, Jesus Christ! All praise and glory to our Lord, Savior and King, Jesus Christ!!!

I've been asked to play for a funeral this Friday morning. What a fantastic song.. learning it now and sooooo perfect!!! and so true.. great ministry opportunity!!
We come to the cross to die. We die to live. God allows us, because of grace, to come to the cross. -Grace allows us to die at the cross. We want to die to ourselves because it's the only way to know and feel God. Its impossible to understand that God's mercy allowed us to die to gain him in our lives. We are dying to feel God's embrace, presence, and closeness = truly living. Dying for him is the best use of our lives. Any other usage of our lives for ourselves won't last and won't satisfy us.
wow this song is amazing. i wish i could write words to the gracious one so well. iv listened to this song so many times. it HAS to be one of my favourite songs ever!!
Love this inspirational song of the CROSS.I dedicate this song to all those Christians who live as minorities in countries where Christianity is really despised.The CROSS makes the difference.These persecuted Christians re-enact the carrying and the wonders of the CROSS daily.
@inspirewisdom YES, as Christians WE have to stand in HIS army and Evangelize for HE who is the Answer to ALL. WE need to be BOLD, have DISCERNMENT and WISDOM to stand for the Lord. Amen
These lyrics are so profound,in that when we look at the Cross,we naturally see such a horrific event take place, yet through the believer's eyes, it is also the most beautiful thing that could ever be done for such sinners as ourselves...hence the name 'Wonderful Cross'.
I wept when they first sang "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" Christ suffered the most pain and most people are oblivious to that.
Seriously, how can anybody doubt the existance and love of Jesus? This song arrangement is seriously one of my favourite musical tributes to the Eternal Father and his Son. I love driving down the street in here in Calgary pumping the tune out of my car. I get some really weird looks LOL :-D
Don't forget that the cross is not to be worshiped, God alone is to be. The cross is a bridge to God, so that we may enjoy Him forever and know Him. It is a great gift of God, but not God Himself. Great song though.
As I listened to this song, I was so moved, I wept and felt myself taken up into the Presence of God, through My Jesus. As He does everytime we call on His Name!
Oh purrrrleeeeease (rolls eyes) .... who gives a (insert whatever word/phrase you want here) if this is a reworking of another hymn! I've also heard "When I Survey The Wondrous Cross"... Both songs have great merit, and both praise the awesome, Almighty Saviour!!! If all people can do on hearing such songs is bicker about whether one is a reworking of another... they are TOTALLY missing the point of the songs!!!
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only son (Jesus Christ). Who ever belived in him shall not perish but have an EVERLASTING life!!!"
Beautiful song!! It was at the cross that our sins were forgiven.Thank you for the cross Lord!! O the wonderful sacrifice by the Saviour set me free!!! Thank you precious Lord!!
What an amazing exchange on that cross. My sins for His righteousness, my sickness for His healing, my death and condemnation for eternal life and forgiveness. Thank you Jesus--I love you Lord!
This song is so beautiful! I love when they sing "Bids me come and die and find that I may truely live" and I love when they sing "All who gather near by grace draw near." Only by His grace can we draw near. If we had to depend on our own works none of us would be going to Heaven. Which is a good thing because all of my best works are filthy rags in compared to God. Thank you Jesus.

Another example, if you were to disgrace the American flag, many Americans would get angry. Not because they idolize the flag, but because the flag represents our nation. We don't pray or worship to a cross, we worship God. The cross is serves as a reminder of Jesus' sacrifice, nothing more.

@camilo101 THANK YOU for proving my point. Saying that the cross represents Jesus IS IDOLATRY! It's a graven image! It's allowing a man made image to represent the lord. It's breaking the 2nd commandment. How hilarious that you would just come out and say it.

1 Corinthians 1:17
New International Version (NIV)
17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
You fail to understand the Spiritual meaning of the song . . . It is saying with out the pain Christ suffered on the cross, we would not have redemption, and our sin's could not be forgiven. Not idolizing the Cross itself but the suffering of our Lord and Savior. Peace to you in Christ Jesus
KorinaVee 3 months ago in playlist KorinaVee's favorites
@KorinaVee I'm not talking about the song, I'm talking about the concept. The REAL verse is "For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.". The fact that the verse is changed in the NIV only serves as evidence that Christians have turned to idolatry, and that they worship the cross. There is danger and evil in holding the Cross to be holy; those who revere it have been swayed by false prophets.
rudygetsplenty 3 months ago
@rudygetsplenty To me both versions of this verses say the same thing. The real truth is . . . The Cross of Christ it is more then the image you see around someones neck, in a picture or in the thought that it is a graven image. You seem knowledgeable enough, so I am sure you understand the Cross is that Christ came to take on the sin's of the world, by becoming the perfect sacrifice. This is not a song about an image, but the true cross of Christ.
KorinaVee 2 months ago in playlist KorinaVee's favorites
@KorinaVee Wonderful concept... the Cross is not just the "wood"! The "cross" is the Sacrifice of our Saviour Jesus Christ. The place where his blood was shed for the whole world's sin and the starting point for each persons redemption.... The blood which cleanses us from all sin
Triumphcarnut 2 months ago
@rudygetsplenty You're confused about what a graven image is. A graven image is something you WORSHIP, not merely something that represents a spiritual concept symbolically. Otherwise you'll have to accuse God of commanding the Hebrews to idolatry with the vast descriptions of the Temple and Tabernacle, especially how they were supposed to create golden images of cherubim.
Do not deceive yourself.

@camilo101 I forgot; what's really a disgrace is using violence in the name of Jesus. But what's REALLY a disgrace is a "Christian" attempting to defend it.

Why do Christian worship the cross? I mean aside from that whole 2nd Commandment thing, isn't it just in poor taste in general? I mean, do Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s supporters walk around with little sniper rifle necklaces?

Who would have thought that such amazing events unfolded when this man was crucified that day. Can you imagine the surprise satan would off got. Jesus turning up on his door step to take back the keys of life we had given him from the beginning of time. Oh death where is thy sting. Jesus giving us the power to say get behind me satan. The things we use to be addicted too, no longer have a hold on us when we bring it to Jesus. Amazing. 1Cor 15 vs 55, Col 2 vs 15, and Rev 1 vs 17.

Some of the most loved and awe-inspiring hymns were written by Charles Wesley. (1707-1788). Charles Wesley wrote over 6,000 hymns, many of which are anthems today.
"When I Survey the Wondrous Cross" was written by Isaac Watts. (1674-1748)
Wesley claimed that he would have gladly given up EVERY song he ever wrote to have written, "W.I.S.t.W.C." Can you imagine such a statement??

Remember this song when the moonies are getting all churches to remove their crosses in your church. The cross offends the wicked and by listening to the sinners to remove the cross from all churches is a mortal sin. Any major church confrence where many churches join to trade ideas and morals and see a moonie to get you to remove the cross. DENY them at every moment!

Lewis, who also knew the difference between mythology and history.

We come to the cross to die. We die to live. God allows us, because of grace, to come to the cross. -Grace allows us to die at the cross. We want to die to ourselves because it's the only way to know and feel God. Its impossible to understand that God's mercy allowed us to die to gain him in our lives. We are dying to feel God's embrace, presence, and closeness = truly living. Dying for him is the best use of our lives. Any other usage of our lives for ourselves won't last and won't satisfy us.
