What Wondrous Love Is this is a sacred hymm and spiritual normally sung accapella in church choirs the world over. The song witnesses the beautiful mysterious sacrifice Jesus freely gave to all humankind. Daughter Of Swords does a brilliant solo performance of this song. I`ve become a big fan of her music since seeing her perform on Paste Magazine here on YouTube. I worked up this banjo arrangement which follows the melody line along while I sing. Mountain Banjo played in the two finger thumb lead style. If you care to sing along I added the lyrics below.

What Wondrous Love Is the - lyrics
Banjo tuned to fDGCD (relative)

1 What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul?
What wondrous love is this, O my soul?
What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss
to bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,
to bear the dreadful curse for my soul?

2 When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down,
when I was sinking down, sinking down,
when I was sinking down beneath God’s righteous frown,
Christ laid aside his crown for my soul, for my soul,
Christ laid aside his crown for my soul.

3 To God and to the Lamb I will sing, I will sing,
to God and to the Lamb I will sing,
to God and to the Lamb who is the great I Am,
while millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing,
while millions join the theme, I will sing.

4 And when from death I’m free I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on,
and when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on,
and when from death I’m free, I’ll sing and joyful be,
and through eternity I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on,
and through eternity I’ll sing on.
