"How Deep the Father's Love For Us" lyrics

Listen

Our devotional based on these lyrics:

"How Deep The Father's Love For Us" by Stuart Townend is an incredibly powerful presentation of the gospel (the good news) that Christ died for us with our guilt and sin "upon His shoulders".

Every verse of this song speaks volumes about God's work on the cross to bring us to Himself in spite of our sinful condition "that He would give His only Son to make a wretch His treasure"

"But God demonstrates His own love toward us,
in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us"
Rom 5:8 (NKJV)

Spend a few minutes just reading through the words of the song and let its power and truths penetrate your heart. Reflect on God's love. That he reached out to the mockers and scoffers and sinners to bring us into His Glory.

Carry this with you today:

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!

"How Deep The Father's Love For Us" lyrics:

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 turns 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 shoulder
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice
Call out amoung 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
