"How Deep the Father’s Love for Us", arr. Larry Shackley
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.
How high, how wide, how deep the Father’s love for us.
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 it is finished.
How pure, how strong, how deep the Father’s love for us.
I will not boast of 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.
How high, how wide, how pure, how strong,
How deep the Father’s love for us.
