    E                 F#m  G#m A
How deep the Father's love for us,
    E/G#            C#m B
How vast beyond all measure
     E                  F#m  G#m A
That He should 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 searing 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


  E              F#m G#m A
Behold the Man upon  a   cross,
   E/G#         C#m  B
My sin upon His shoulders
 E                F#m G#m A
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice,
     E/B           B   E
Call out among the scoffers


   E/G#            C#m  B   A
It was my sin that held Him there
  E/G#         C#m B
Until it was accomplished
    E                F#m     G#m A
His dying breath has brought me  life
  E/B             B E
I know that it is finished


  E                 F#m G#m A
I will not boast in anything
   E/G#                C#m B
No gifts, no power, no wis-dom
    E               F#m G#m A 
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
    E/B            B  E
His death and resurrection


    E/G#               C#m B A
Why should I gain from His reward?
  E/G#           C#m B
I cannot give an answer
    E                F#m G#m A
But this I know with all my  heart
    E/B                 B  E
His wounds have paid my ransom
