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

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