HOW DEEP THE FATHER’S LOVE FOR US
by Stuart Townend

  

VERSE 1:
How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He would give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure

 

VERSE 2:
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

    

VERSE 3:
Behold the Man upon a cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers

 

VERSE 4:
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

 

VERSE 5:
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no pow’r, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

 

VERSE 6:
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
