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

[@princessever9063]

Thank you Lord for dying in the cross for a sinner as me!

[@oceanblue2358]

The song reminds us that the world is nothing compared to God's amazing love and that He deserves our all, not just part of us.

[@trixyteddy]

nothing and nothing can even come close in comparison to Jesus sacrifice on the Cross.... all i can say is Thank You Jesus...

[@jv62able]

This song made me cry !! Everything Jesus did for us. Why can't we his ppl all get along ?

[@Bruno-fd7em]

"God forbid that I should Glory/Boast, Save in The Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom the world is crucified to me and I to the world"

[@christinelouisew1]

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

[@celine7home]

Love so amazing, so divine, demands my life, my soul, my all... This love, i wish i could understand

[@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.

I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. Today (March 5, Ash Wednesday), I attended a noon service at a local United Methodist Church. We sang this as the Opening Hymn. It is #298 in The United Methodist Hymnal. And may we walk with Jesus (and not cut & run) as he begins his journey to the Cross.

So happy to see the original. What people have done to this song in no way pays respect to the writer and to the artistic integrity and poetry in this song. All I can say to this song is Amen.

[@openoureyesLordtoday]

Can't get tired of listening to this hymn, so lovely, so through! Thank u Jesus, thank you for positing it!

[@Clinton52732]

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

[@gavinnotkevin]

Love so amazing so Divine. when listening this, I felt like tasting heaven before I really enter it.

[@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.

[@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.

[@andrewwhitaker7654]

I love this song its so powerful, with such wonderful truths, If anyone's interested please see this version from a church i attend just outside London England - When I Survey - The Gift Of Love Easter Celebration 2014

[@janetcoverdale]

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

[@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.

[@rhythm2earth]

He only sings with truthful worshipping heart.......

[@mkl62]

It's me, again. I also play the piano and organ. Today (October 5, Pentecost 17), I filled in at a local Lutheran Church. I played this as the Hymn of the Day. It is #803 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship.

[@ziondavidgubalane8398]

are you gonna surrender eternal life for a piece of car? for a piece of flat screen tv? for a bunch of gold and silver? for fame? i rather have eternal life. i rather have Jesus.

[@richcorley7120]

very nice to see so many choose to listen to this song and songs like it

[@itsjustrenee1320]

Hallelujah, Glory to my King

[@monicar912]

Have questions? Read the Bible. It is the living Word of God. It has all the answers you seek.

[@cbabergm]

whatsoever things are lovely, think on those things----

[@croccatcher]

Beautiful

[@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.

[@lachlansands57]

This is good

[@dolbyd2070]

Where can i find this version to purchase, i am not seeing it.

[@belcantopera4562]

[@HurricaneTeen]

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

[@killairmanable]
