HOW DEEP THE FATHER'S LOVE FOR US
Stuart Townend - 1995 Thankyou Music (PRS) - [Admin. worldwide by woshiptogether.com songs)
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
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 bro't me life, I know that it is finished
I will not boast in anything, No gifts, no pow'r, no wisdom;
But I will boast in Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward? I can not give an answer
But this I know with all my heart; His wounds have paid my ransom

I'm with Becky * as soon as I read your post title I started humming the hymn. Love this hymn. So rich. So meaningful. So right for today.
