Lyrics
How deep the Father’s love toward us, How wide beyond all measure! That He should give His only Son, To make a sinner His treasure. How great the pain of piercing loss! The Father hides His face away; As wounds that marred the Chosen One Bring many children to glory. How deep the Father’s love toward us, How wide beyond all measure! That He should give His only Son, To make a sinner His treasure. How great the pain of piercing loss! The Father hides His face away; As wounds that marred the Chosen One Bring many children to glory. Behold the Son upon a cross: My shame upon His shoulders; Ashamed I hear my mocking voice Cry out with the scoffers. It was my pride that held Him there Until it was accomplished; His dying breath has given me life: I trust that it is finished. I shall not boast in anything: No gifts, no power, no merit; But I shall boast in Jesus Christ: His death and resurrection. Why should I share in His reward? I cannot find an answer; But this I trust with all my heart: His wounds have bought my ransom. Why should I share in His reward? I cannot find an answer; But this I trust with all my heart: His wounds have bought my ransom.
Lyrics
