Song Lyrics
[Verse 1] How deep the Father\xe2\x80\x99s 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. [Verse 2] 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. [Verse 3] 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. [Verse 1] How deep the Father\xe2\x80\x99s 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. [Verse 2] 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. [Verse 3] 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.
