When I Survey (The Beauty and the Shame)

from We Sing Hallelujah by Toby Baxley

/

lyrics

Vere 1
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

Verse 2
But God forbid that I should boast
Save in the death of Christ my God
All the vain things that charm me most
I sacrifice them to his blood

Chorus 1
The beauty and the shame
The passion and the pain
You found our wayward souls
And brought them home again

Verse 3
See from his head his hands his feet
Sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown

Verse 4
Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were an offering far too small
Love so amazing so divine
demands my soul my life my all

Chorus 2
The beauty and the shame
The passion and the pain
You found our wayward souls
And brought them home again
The Lamb for sinners slain
You died to take the blame
And ransom captive hearts
To the glory of your name
