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
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
guilt 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 powr's, 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
