‘When I survey’
Meaning:
1.
When I look upon the cross
That reveals Your boundless love, O Lord,
I surrender myself completely to You.
2.
Everything I once considered
My treasure and gain in this world,
I now count as loss
Because of what I have seen in the cross.
3.
The things I once loved and pursued
And considered the joy of my life
I now recognize as worthless.
I gladly leave them behind
Because of what the cross has shown me.
4.
I will continually boast
Only in Your cross, my Savior.
My heart desires no greatness
Or glory in anything else.
5.
Such deep and immeasurable love
Is worthy of everything I have.
So I offer You my whole being—
My body, my soul, my mind,
And all that I am.
6.
I fall before Your feet
And bow down in worship and devotion.
To You, to Your Father,
And to the Holy Spirit
Be all glory and honor,
Forever.
