How Deep The Father's Love For Us

I wanted to share one of my all-time favorite songs.  Below the video are the lyrics along with some Scripture references that may be of help to you as you worship the Savior this week.  He is Risen!




How Deep the Father’s Love For Us
Written by Stuart Townend
Performed by Joy Williams

How deep the Father's love for us,.................................................... 1 John 3:1
How vast beyond all measure..................................................... Ephesians 3:18-19
That He should give His only Son......................................................... John 3:16
To make a wretch His treasure.................................................. Romans 7:24-25

How great the pain of searing loss,

The Father turns His face away....... Matthew 27:46; Mark 15:34; Psalm 22:1
As wounds which mar the chosen One,.......................................... Isaiah 53:5
Bring many sons to glory ..................................................................... Hebrews 2:10

Behold the Man upon the cross,
.......................................... John 19:17-19, 31-37
My sin upon His shoulders..................................................................... 1 Peter 2:24
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
.................................................... Matthew 27:22-25

It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
................ Mark 15:37-39; Luke 23:46
I know that it is finished......................................................................... John 19:30

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
......................... Jeremiah 9:23; 1 Corinthians 4:7
But I will boast in Jesus Christ,............................................... 1 Corinthians 1:31
His death and resurrection............................................................... Galatians 6:14

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
........................... Mark 10:45; Colossians 2:14
