- How deep the Father's love for us
- .i Stuart Townend
-
- .1
- How deep the Father's
- love for us,
- How vast beyond all measure,
- That He should 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 sin 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.
