Selah - How Deep the Father's Love for Us lyrics

rate me

How deep the Father's love for us <br />How vast beyond all measure <br />That He should give His only Son <br />To make a wretch His treasure <br /> <br />How great the pain of searing loss <br />The Father turns His face away <br />As wounds which mar the Chosen One <br />Bring many sons to glory <br /> <br />Behold the man upon a cross <br />My sin upon His shoulders <br />Ashamed I hear my mocking voice <br />Call out among the scoffers <br /> <br />It was my sin that held Him there <br />Until it was accomplished <br />His dying breath has brought me life <br />I know that it is finished <br /> <br />I will not boast in anything <br />No gifts, no power, no wisdom <br />But I will boast in Jesus Christ <br />His death and resurrection <br /> <br />Why should I gain from His reward <br />I cannot give an answer <br />But this I know with all my heart <br />His wounds have paid my ransom<br /><br />
