Matthew West – The Wonderful Cross (Guitar)

E
When I survey the wondrous cross

E                             B
On which the prince of glory died

E                 A         C#m
My richest gain I count but loss

E   G#       F#      A      E       A
And pour contempt on all my pride

E
Forbid it Lord that I should boast

                               B
Safe in the death of Christ my guide

E                      A        C#m
All living things that charm me most

       F#m       A      E
I sacrifice them to his blood

      A           E          A           E
O the wonderful cross, O the wonderful cross

          A             E                         B
Bids me come and die and find that I may truly live

E
See from his head, his hands, his feet

                             B
Sorrow and love flow mingled down

E                      A      C#m
Did ever such love and sorrow meet

E            F#m     A      E
Or thorns compose so rich a crown

      A           E          A           E
O the wonderful cross, O the wonderful cross

          A             E                   B
All who gather here by grace draw near and bless

                        F#m     C#m      E
Your name    Bless Your name

             F#m    C#m       A
Bless Your name

     E              B  A  G#m  E
Were the whole realm of nature mine

            F#m   E     C#m  D#m  B
That were an off  ering far  to   small

E                A    C#m
Love so amazing, so divine

E          F#m      A        E
Demands my soul, my life, my all

      A         E            A          E
O the wonderful cross, O the wonderful cross

        A                E                         B
Bids me come and die and find that I may truly live

E    A           E           A          E
O the wonderful cross, O the wonderful cross

         A            E                    B
All who gather here by grace draw near and bless

                       E      A                 E     A
Your name   bless Your name      oh bless  Your name
