When I Survey the Wondrous Cross Words by Isaac Watts

Melody from a Gregorian chant

F C F Gm D7 Gm F C F When I survey the wondrous cross

Bb F C Dm C F C On which the prince of glory died

F C F Gm D7 Gm F C F My richest gain I count but loss

C Dm Bb C F And pour contempt on all my pride

F C F Gm D7 Gm F C F

Forbid it, Lord that I should boast Bb F C Dm C F C

Save in the death of Christ my God F C F Gm D7 Gm F C F C

All the vain things that charm me most C Dm Bb C F

I sacrifice them to His blood

E B E F#m C#m F#m E B E See, from His hands, His head, His feet

E A E B C#m B C#m B Sorrow and love flow mingled down

E B E F#m C#m F#m E B E Did ever such love and sorrow meet

B C#m F#m C#m B E Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

Am E Am G D C D G D G Am E Am G D G

Were the whole realm of nature mine G D Am G D G D G D

That were a present far, far too small G D G Am E Am D Em

Love so, so amazing, so divine G D G C

Demands my soul, demands my soul, G D C Dsus D

Demands my soul, my life, my all

F G F G Am E Am G D C D G

Masterpiece Words and melody by Jennifer

F Bb F Bb Gm

If there were no shadows there would be no shade Csus C F

And, if there were no helpless there would be no aid Bb Dm C Bb

And, if there were no wanderers there would be no prayer C F

And, if there were no dying there would be no care

F Bb F Bb Gm If there were no orphans, would adoption be?

Csus C F And if there were no prisoners, none would be set free

Bb Dm C Bb And if there were no prodigals how could Father show

C F What it is to love someone who doesn’t even know?

G C G C Am All you hopeless children, all you dying ones

Dsus D G All you orphan daughters, prodigal sons

C Em D C There’s no restoration where there is no loss

Dsus D G Take this grand occasion and embrace the cross

C Em D C It’s when all is broken and you’re on your knees

Dsus D G That from broken pieces comes the masterpiece

Where Was I? Words by Jennifer Jill Schwirzer,

music by Alison and Jennifer Schwirzer

Dm Bb F C Where was I when You rose up from Gethsemane’s prayer

Dm Bb F C And searched for Your disciples to find them sleeping there?

Dm F Dm6 Some sympathy in suffering, some tenderness in grief

Gm A The Source of all deliverance, You longed for some relief

Dm C Bb I had moon upon my pillow, You had blood upon your stone

F C Bb C Did I make this Son of Love suffer all alone?

Dm Bb F C Where was I? (Watch and pray lest you enter temptation)

Dm Bb F C Where was I? (Could you not have watched with me one hour?)

Dm Bb F C Sleeping as You suffered, and now I ask “Why?”

Dm Bb F C You were there for me, Friend, but where was I?

Dm Bb F C Where was I when You rose up between the earth and sky

Dm Bb F C And turned Your face to heaven to ask Your Father “Why?”?

Dm F Dm6 All-knowingness bewildered, All-sufficiency in need

Gm A And so few of Your friends there to even watch you bleed

Dm C Bb I had sunshine in my window, you had dark night of the Soul

F C Bb C I forsook and fled away when I heard the thunder roll

Dm Bb F C Where was I? (Of the people, there was not one with Me)

Dm Bb F C Where was I? (I have trodden the winepress alone)

Dm Bb F C Sleeping as You suffered, and now I ask “Why?”

Dm Bb F C You were there for me, Friend, but where was I?

Dm Bb F C

Where am I since You rose up, my heavenly High Priest? Dm Bb F C

It’s two thousand years and counting, still You have not been released Dm F Dm6

You feel with hungry babies, you’re lonely as old men Gm A

You die with battered women again and still again Dm C Bb

I have stars of hope to cheer me, You have darkness and delay F C Bb C

I’m Your great disappointment, You love me anyway Dm Bb F C

Where am I? (Because you say that you have need of nothing) Dm Bb F C

Where am I? (And you’re poor, wretched, naked and blind) Dm Bb F C

Though they bring me sorrow, these questions won’t die Dm Bb F C

This is my confession, my poor alibi, I was Dm Bb F C

Sleeping as You suffered, and now I ask “Why?” Dm Bb F C

You were there for me, Friend, but where was I?
