When I Survey the Wondrous Cross (Orchestral Arr.)

Published 2024-03-30
"Every once in a while, I share some of my music on this channel. (For those who don't know, I am a former professional musician and composer.) For Easter weekend, I wanted to offer my dramatic orchestral arrangement of the famous hymn 'When I Survey the Wondrous Cross,' as performed by the Nashville Praise Symphony, which I was a member of for 11 years. This arrangement explores the idea of this classic hymn being birthed through the emotions and experiences of the believers at the cross the day Jesus died. In the music, I tried to echo the feelings they may have grappled with in watching Him die and how they ultimately processed His death through the lens of all that He had spoken while He was alive.
Happy Easter, everyone. He is risen!"
–Prof. Solberg

    Earlier, God gave Jews a scapegoat ritual for the atonement for sins. (Leviticus 16) Now, the atonement for sins of the world is through Jesus Christ.

    I am very confused :( I found my way back to God post pandemic. I have been immersing myself in the KJ bible. I was then introduced to the Hebrew roots movement and was told all my current holidays were pagan and to start learning about the feast days etc. Needless to say my family is hurt and feels I have been brainwashed. I don’t want to hurt anyone, especially if it is incorrect! I found your channel and am leaving this comment on a more recent video with hopes someone will see it and point me in a direction where I feel solid. It hasn’t felt right in my head or heart. This affects my prayers as I stumble on how to address Him. Any guidance would be so appreciated. Truly.

    Isaiah 44: 13 The carpenter stretched out a line, he beautifies it with a saw; he fixes it with planes, and with a compass he rounds it, and he made it in the likeness of a man, like the beauty of man to sit [in] the house. 14 To hew for himself cedars, and he took an ilex and an oak and he reenforced it with forest trees; he planted a sapling, and rain makes it grow. 15 And it was for man to ignite, and he took from them and warmed himself; he even heated [the oven] and baked bread; he even made a god and prostrated himself, he made a graven image and bowed to them. 16 Half of it he burnt with fire, on half of it he ate meat, he roasted a roast and became sated; he even warmed himself and said, "Aha, I am warm, I see fire." 17 And what is left over from it he made for a god, for his graven image; he kneels to it and prostrates himself and prays to it, and he says, "Save me, for you are my god." 18 Neither do they know nor do they understand, for their eyes are bedaubed from seeing, their hearts from understanding. 19 And he does not give it thought, and he has neither knowledge nor understanding to say, "Half of it I burnt with fire, and I even baked bread on its coals, I roasted meat and ate. And what was left over from it, shall I make for an abomination, shall I bow to rotten wood?" 20 [To] a provider [made] of ashes, a deceived heart has perverted him, and he shall not save his soul, and he shall not say, "Is there not falsehood in my right hand?" 21 Remember these, O Jacob; and Israel, for you are My servant; I formed you that you be a servant to Me, Israel, do not forget Me. 22 I erased your transgressions like a thick cloud, and like a cloud have I erased your sins; return to Me for I have redeemed you. 23 Sing, ye heavens, for the Lord has done [this], shout, ye lowest parts of the earth; ye mountains, burst out in song, the forest and all trees therein; for the Lord has redeemed Jacob, and with Israel shall He be glorified. 24 So said the Lord, your Redeemer, and the One Who formed you from the womb, "I am the Lord Who makes everything, Who stretched forth the heavens alone, Who spread out the earth from My power. 25 Who frustrates the signs of imposters, and diviners He makes mad; He turns the wise backwards, and makes their knowledge foolish. 26 He fulfills the word of His servant, and the counsel of His messenger He completes; Who says of Jerusalem, "It shall be settled," and of the cities of Judah, "They shall be built, and its ruins I will erect." 27 Who says to the deep, "Be dry, and I will dry up your rivers." 28 Who says of Cyrus, "He is My shepherd, and all My desire he shall fulfill," and to say of Jerusalem, "It shall be built, and the Temple shall be founded."
