How Deep the Father’s Love For Us
By: Stuart Townend
Key: C
Verse 1:
    C                 Dm  Em  F
How deep the Father's love for us
C/E                Am G
How vast beyond all measure
     C                 Dm Em F
That He would give His only Son
   C/G               G    C
To make a wretch His treasure

    C/E              Am G   F
How great the pain of searing loss
    C/E             Am    G
The Father turns His face away
   C                    Dm Em F
As wounds which mar the chosen One
      C/G          G  C
Bring many sons to glory

Verse 2:
Behold the Man upon a cross
My guilt 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

Verse 3:
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no powers, 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
