How Deep The Father's Love For Us Lyrics
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
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e60610-owl_city~how_deep_the_fathers_love_for_us_lyrics.html ]
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
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
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
