How Deep the Father’s Love for Us

Traditional, Stuart Townend

[Verse 1]
How deep, the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He would give His only Son
To make a wretch, His treasure

[Verse 2]
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
And wounds which mark the chosen one
Bring many sons to glory

[Verse 3]
Behold the man upon a cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers

[Chorus]
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brough me life
I know that it is finished

[Verse 4]
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
