Today I've gone outside of my typical hymns and have chosen a more contemporary song - one I think of as hymn of today. I love this song and use it in my personal time with the Lord as both praise and prayer. As we close in the on season of the resurrection, I pray that it's message touches you also.
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God. 1 John 3:1
How Deep The Father's Love For Us lyrics
Stuart Townsend
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 mocing 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
(REPEAT)
