Olly Kiff - When I Survey (Love Amazing) (CCM)

Olly Kiff - When I Survey (Love Amazing)
Olly Kiff has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called When I Survey (Love Amazing).

The original version of this song was written by Isaac Watts back in 1707. Charles Wesley, who wrote more than 6,000 hymns, reportedly said he would give up all his hymns to have written this one.
Olly shares: "This hymn has always been my favorite and I hope this version (with an additional tag at the end) does this song justice.
The last lines of verse 4 get me every time:
'Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all'."

The lyrics:

Verse 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:
Forbid it Lord 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

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

Tag:
Love amazing, grace unfailing
Lord Your saving love has brought me here
A love that demands every part of my life
Love amazing, grace unfailing
Lord Your saving love has brought me here
A love that demands every part of my life
Here I surrender my life

Rhett Walker - Man on the Middle Cross (CCM)

Rhett Walker's CCM song, 'Man on the Middle Cross,' is a powerful reflection on the profound impact of God's grace and mercy. The song was inspired by a sermon by Alistair Begg, focusing on the two men crucified alongside Jesus, and the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice. The lyrics vividly describe the scene of three wooden crosses on a hill, with two sinners on either side of Jesus. The first verse expresses the realization that, at times, we all can relate to the sinners on the crosses—feeling guilty, regretful, and undeserving of God's love and forgiveness. The chorus beautifully captures the experience of both sinners, acknowledging that one has been on the left, filled with guilt and regret, while the other has been on the right, always seeking conflict and thinking forgiveness is beyond reach. The overwhelming theme throughout the song is the recognition of God's grace and mercy, which are not earned or deserved but freely given to all. The br...

"Good Grace / Clean Slate" by Century Worship: Heaven Came Down to Meet You

There is no one like Jesus. That's the key message of "Good Grace / Clean Slate - Live" by Century Worship, and once this truth sinks in, it's hard to shake. The song opens with a question that stops you in your tracks, pulling the essence of Christ's sacrifice right into your life: "Who is God that He would take our place?" Just think about it for a moment... what kind of God steps down from glory to walk the very ground He created and pay the price on your behalf? The answer to this question unfolds throughout the song. This answer talks about this exchange. "Good grace, clean slate // God met me where I was,"  a God who doesn't wait for you to get it together. He came down and paid it all. That's the story. That's the gospel. The bridge declares: "There's never been, never been, anyone like our God." Century Worship isn't asking you to take their word for it... They're inviting you into the moment where th...

What happens when 45,000 voices unite to proclaim the worthiness of Jesus? That's the scene from Passion 2026 in Arlington, Texas, where the original version of this beautiful song was sung. Originally released in 2017, "What A Worthy Name" is still very popular, continues to stir hearts, and Emmanuel Songsore's instrumental cover of the song captures that same spirit.  You'll love this beautiful piano cover of the song. As always, Emmanuel adds his signature touch to the song, making it easy to drift away in your mind to one of Passion's concerts and sing along.  As you listen to Emmanuel's piano arrangement, may you reflect on these timeless truths. The hands that "turn the universe surrendered to the Cross." Despite the sin that separated us, Jesus "took the fall once and for all." This salvation that can never be earned; it is given to you and me.  When you feel that your hope has "grown too cold to resurrect," may thi...
