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

    D/F#              Bm A   G
How great the pain of searing loss
    D/F#             Bm    A
The Father turns His face away
   D                    Em F#m G
As wounds which mar the chosen One
      D/A          A  D
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
