How Deep the Father's Love for Us
The following is a song by Stuart Townsend. The words are so poignant. I don't know that I have ever heard any song that proclaims God's love quite like this. If you would like to hear the midi for this song, double click control.
__________
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 songs 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 pow'r, 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.
