How Deep the Father's Love for Us

I love the words to this song..............what an amazing thought that our Father would do this for us. With Thanksgiving right around the corner and the thought of thankfulness in our hearts, I could go on an on of things that I am thankful for and way too often take for granted. However, the last two lines of this song pretty much sums it up. I'm so thankful that He has paid my ransom and continues to bless me daily. What a wonderful, amazing God we serve.

How deep the
Father's love for us,

How vast beyond
all measure

That He should
give His only Son

To make a wretch
His treasure

How great the pain
of searing loss,

The Father turns
His face away

As wounds which
mar the chosen One,

Bring many sons to
glory

Behold the Man
upon a 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

Ponder the above words, bask in them, our HEAVENLY FATHER LOVES US.
