How Deep The Father's 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 treasureHow great the pain of searing loss,
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One,
Bring many sons to gloryBehold the Man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice,
Call out among the scoffersIt was my sin that helf Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finishedI will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrectionWhy 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

My children and I have been listening all week to a song sung by children with a few of these verses - I love it when I have a worship song going through my head all day
The words to this song make my heart swell and be so utterly thankful.
His love for us is one we will never fully grasp but each day it is proved in the breathe in our lungs and the beating of our heart and unending grace. I was privileged to get to play and sing this song in church a couple weeks ago. It is truly a beautiful song, it's one of the songs on the playlist on my site in fact.
