Sunday Hymns - How Deep the Fathers 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 the cross

My sin upon His shoulders

Ashamed to hear my mocking voice

Call out among the scoffers



It was my sin that kept 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

"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. " Hebrews 10:23-25
