Wondrous Love - sung by Jack Marti (Ron on recorder)

I heard this song for the first time back in about 1978 or '79 sung by a church choir. I was immediately struck by the beauty of the melody and the words. I couldn't wait to learn it and make it part of my repertoire. My friend, Ron was kind enough to join me on this one. I know lots of other people have done it, but I hope you get a blessing out of this rendition.

What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this
That caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul!

When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down
Beneath my sin I was bound,
Christ laid aside His crown for my soul for my soul,
Christ laid aside His crown for my soul.

To God and to the Lamb I will sing, I will sing;
To God and to the Lamb I will sing;
To God and to the Lamb,
Who is the great I AM,
While millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing,
While millions join the theme, I will sing.

And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on, I'll sing on;
And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on.
And when from death I'm free
I'll sing His love for me,
And through eternity I'll sing on, I'll sing on,
And through eternity I'll sing on.

Is that an alto recorder, or a tenor?

I love the Lord now and will love Him for eternity. The cares, anxieties and difficulties in this realm that we live right now can not stop us from keep loving the Lodrd until He calls us home.
