How Deep the Father's Love for Us

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 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
