How Deep the Father's Love for us

D                     Em    D/F#  G       
How deep the Father's love  for   us, 
    D/F#            Bm  A
how vast beyond all measure
     D                  Em  D/F#  G  
That he should give his on - ly  son, 
   D/F#               A    D
to make a wretch his treasure
      D               Em   D/F#   G   
How great the pain of sea - ring loss, 
    D/F#              Bm    A
the Father turned his face away
    D                    Em   D/F#  G  
As wounds which mar the cho - sen  one, 
      D/F#          A  D
bring many sons to glory

   D            Em  D/F#  G    
Behold the man upon  a    cross, 
   D/F#          Bm   A
my sin upon his shoulders
  D                Em    D/F#   G   
Ashamed, I hear my moc - king  voice 
     D/F#           A    D
call out among the scoffers
    D              Em   D/F#  G   
It was my sin that held him there 
  D/F#         Bm  A
until it was accomplished
    D                 Em     D/F#   G  
His dying breath has brought me   life; 
  D/F#             A   D
I know that it is finished

   D                Em  D/F#  G    
I will not boast in a – ny - thing: 
    D/F#                Bm  A
no gifts, no power, no wisdom
    D               Em   D/F#   G    
But I will boast in Je - sus  Christ; 
     D/F#           A     D
his death and resurrec - tion
     D                 Em   D/F#   G   
Why should I gain from his   re - ward? 
  D/F#           Bm    A
I cannot give an ans - wer
     D               Em   D/F#   G  
But this I know with all   my   heart: 
      D/F#               A     D
his wounds have paid my ran - som
