How Deep The Father's Love For Us

As Resurrection Sunday approaches, I cannot help but think of what happened on Good Friday. I praise God that the story did not end on Good Friday when Jesus died on the cross. Jesus rose from the dead on Sunday! And the story is still being written today. And one day those that have placed their faith in Jesus will live with Him forever.

How deep the Father's 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

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

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

The words alone are beautiful but the music just makes the song! Listen here.
