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 turned 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 |
|
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 |
|
How deep? |
