How deep the Fathers 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 turn his face away

as wounds which mar the chosen one

bring many sons to glory!

Behold the man upon the cross,

my sin upon his shoulders;

ashamed, I hear my mocking voice

call 0ut among the scoffers.

It was my sin that held him there

until it was accomplished;

His dieing 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.
