How Deep The Father’s Love For Us

 

 

1

How deep the Father’s love for us.

How vast beyond the measure

That He would give His only Son

To make a wretch His treasure

 

How great the pain of searing loss

The Father turns His face away

As wounds which mar the chosen One

Bring many sons to glory

 

 

2

Behold the Man upon a cross

My guilt upon His shoulders

Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice

Call out among the scoffers

 

It was my sin that held Him there

Until it was accomplished

His dying breath has brought me life

I know that it is finished

 

 

3

I will not boast in anything

No gifts, no power, no wisdom

But I will boast in Jesus Christ

His death and resurrection

 

Why should I gain from His reward

I cannot give an answer

But this I know with all my heart

His wounds have paid my ransom
