  			Play D2 on verses: 
 
(1st verse) 
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 
 
(2nd verse) 
See from His head, His hands, His feet 
Sorrow and love flow mingled down 
Did ever such love and sorrow meet 
Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 
      G                D/F# 
O the wonderful cross 
       G               D/F# 
O the wonderful cross 
            G       
Bids me come and die 
        D/F#          A 
And find that I may truly live 
       G              D/F# 
O the wonderful cross 
       G              D/F# 
O the wonderful cross 
           G 
All who gather here 
        D/F#                A 
By grace draw near and bless Your name 
(3rd Verse) 
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 
 
 
During the verses pick out D2 
During the verses, the lead guitar can also play out the following  
notes,I believe this is the way they actually play it on the passion  
live DVD. This is meant to be played with two guitars, if you are  
playing it by yourself, just pick out the D2, forget the lead.  It  
will still sound good.
