How Deep the Father's Love For Us
Written by Stuart Townend

     D                 Em   D  G        D               Asus-A

How deep the Father's love for us, how vast beyond all measure

     D                  Em-D  G       D                A    D

That he should give his only son, to make a wretch his treasure

                       Em-D     G        D                 Bm    A

How great the pain of searing loss, the Father turned his face away

    D                    Em-D   G          D           A   D

As wounds which mar the chosen one, bring many sons to glory



     D         Em   D  G        D               Asus-A

Behold the man upon a cross, my sin upon his shoulders

 D                  Em-D     G         D             A    D

Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice call out among the scoffers

                    Em   D     G    D             Bm    A

It was my sin that held him there until it was accomplished

    D                    Em  D   G       D               A   D

His dying breath has brought me life; I know that it is finished



 D                  Em D  G        D                 Asus-A

I will not boast in anything: no gifts, no power, no wisdom

  D                  Em-D   G          D             A    D

But I will boast in Jesus Christ; his death and resurrection

                        Em  D  G      D             Bm A

Why should I gain from his reward? I cannot give an answer

    D                 Em  D   G          D                 A   D

But this I know with all my heart: his wounds have paid my ransom
