How Deep the Father’s Love For Us
By: Stuart Townend
Key: Db
Verse 1:
    Db                 Ebm  Fm  Gb
How deep the Father's love for us
Db/F                Bbm Ab
How vast beyond all measure
     Db                 Ebm Fm Gb
That He would give His only Son
   Db/Ab               Ab    Db
To make a wretch His treasure

    Db/F              Bbm Ab   Gb
How great the pain of searing loss
    Db/F             Bbm    Ab
The Father turns His face away
   Db                    Ebm Fm Gb
As wounds which mar the chosen One
      Db/Ab          Ab  Db
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
