The Wonderful Cross
This beautiful solo piano arrangement is a tender setting of “The Wonderful Cross,” a popular praise song by Chris Tomlin based on the timeless hymn “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross” by Isaac Watts. Tomlin’s version uses the verses from the original hymn, coupled with a newly written chorus. In this late intermediate piano arrangement, the gentle motive of the Tomlin chorus acts as a soft introduction. Then, the verse enters with a gentle eighth-note accompaniment. Tasteful reharmonizations, lush arpeggios, and lyrical melodies played in sixths work together to create a warm, loving atmosphere—the perfect music to capture the hope of Easter.
