How Deep the Father's Love for Us

We sang this lovely song this evening during family worship.

How Deep The Father's Love

How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
And 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 shoulder
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 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

We finished the last couple verses of the book of Mathew tonight and the words to this song fit beautifully.
I shall never cease to wonder and praise God for His mercy and love for us. Christ suffered so much for our deliverance. What a merciful God and what a wonderful Savior!
