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
