How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond a measure,
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch's treasure.
How great that 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 a cross
My sin upon His shoulders,
Ashamed I am a mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers.
Here 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 ressurection!
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!
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 vast beyond a measure,
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch's treasure.
How great that pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away,
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory.

Until it was accomplished.

no gifts, no power, no wisdom,
