How Deep the Father's Love for Us     The following is a song by Stuart Townsend. The words are so poignant. I don't know that I have ever heard any song that proclaims God's love quite like this. If you would like to hear the midi for this song, click control.        __________   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 songs 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 held Him there until it was accomplished; His dying breath has brought me life--I know that it is finished.   A lengthy interlude here __________   I will not boast in anything, no gifts, no pow'r, 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. ~Stuart Townsend~   Copyright © 2000-2010 Patricia's Home Page. All rights reserved.   Patricia's Page for Encouragement|Christian Link Index Where Will You Spend Eternity?|Home Background by CastleberryArts
