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 barking 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
(repeat)
