How Deep the Father's Love for Us
by Stuart Townend

Verse 1:

E                     F#m  G#m  A
How deep the Father's love for  us

    E/G#            C#m   B
How vast beyond all mea - sure

     E                 F#m  G#m  A
That He would give His on - ly   Son

   E/B               B   E
To make a wretch His treasure

    E/G#              C#m  B   A
How great the pain of sear-ing loss

    E/G#             C#m  B
The Father turns His face away

   E                    F#m   G#m  A
As wounds which mar the cho - sen  One

      E/B          B  E
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 powr's, 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
