How Deep the Father’s Love for Us lyrics
by Stuart Townend
[Verse 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 turned his face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory
[Verse 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
[Verse 3]
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrеction
Why should I gain from his reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my hеart
His wounds have paid my ransom
[Outro]
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
His wounds have paid my ransom
His wounds have paid my ransom
