How deep

I was looking through some old posts on a blog that I follow and I came across a post with the words from the song, How deep the Father's love for us. I love this song and I hope this song brings you love, peace, and comfort in knowing how much God loves all of his children. May you also meditate on the scripture I have on the bottom of this post, John 3:16.

Here are the lyrics. Enjoy.
 

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 mocking voice,
Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that left 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)
 
 
"For God so Loved the world, that He gave his one and only son that whoever believes in him, shall not perish, but have eternal life"
John 3:16
