I first heard it on a John Rutter CD. In his comments on the text, he deplored the fact that nowadays we tend to avoid the "bloody" aspect of the Cross - which was why he intentionally included this verse.<br /><br />A quote from C.S. Lewis has been much on my mind the last few days: "CRUCIFIXION, CROSS ... Centuries of hymnody and religious cant have so exhausted these words that they now very faintly--if at all--convey the idea of execution by torture."<br /><br />Shocking words, but a very salutary reminder!<br /><br />Was thinking about you today, Angela, and wondering what hymns you had in mind for the day. :) A very blessed Easter to you and Bob.Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-90150712335854602182013-03-29T22:27:17.963+00:002013-03-29T22:27:17.963+00:00And I didn't know that extra verse, yes, defin...And I didn't know that extra verse, yes, definitely challenging!
