What's Your Favorite Worship Song?

[Pearl]

When I survey the wondrous Cross, is another favorite, that is similar to Rock of Ages.

That is one of my favourites too. And 'What a Friend we have in Jesus.'

Wow farouk, that's not the version I know

[farouk]

Yes, this is one of the well known tunes to the hymn!

@Pearl PS: The words are really out of this world, also...so memorable and humbling and Christ exalting.

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.
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.
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?
4. Were the whole realm of nature mine,
   That were a present far too small;
   Love so amazing, so divine,
   Demands my soul, my life, my all.

Isaac Watts, published 1707.

It always makes me emotional.

It always makes me emotional.

Good when the thought is worshipful and directed at the Lord.
