How  deep the fathers love for us
 How vast beyond  all mea-sure
 That He should  give his on--ly son
 And make a  wretch His trea-sure
 How great the  pain of sear-ing loss
 The Father  turns His face away
 As wounds  which mar the Cho-sen One
 Bring many son's  to glo-ry
 
 Behold  the Man upon the  cross
 My sin  upon His shoul-der
 Ashamed  I hear my mock-ing voice
 Call out  among the sco-ffers
 It was  my sin that held Him there
 Until  it was accom-plished
 His dying  breath has brought me life
 I know  that it is fin-ished
 
 
I will not boast in an—-y----thing
 No gifts  no power no wis--dom
 But I will  boast in Je---sus  Christ
 His death  and resurrec-tion
 Why should  I from His re---ward
 I cannot  give an an---swer
 But this  I know with all my  heart
 His wounds  have paid my ran-som
 Repeat the last four lines twice slowing down as you go.
 Thanks and enjoy!
