How Deep The Father's Love For Us?

How deep is the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
That Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory

Behold the man upon the 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
