    Stuart Townsend

D5                 E5   D5  G5        D5               A5 - A5
How deep the Father's love for us, how vast beyond all measure
     D5                  E5 - D5  G5       D5                A5    D5
That he should give his only son, to make a wretch his treasure
                       E5 - D5     G5        D5                 B5    A5
How great the pain of searing loss, the Father turned his face away
    D5                    E5 - D5   G5          D5           A5   D5
As wounds which mar the chosen one, bring many sons to glory

     D5         E5   D5  G5        D5               A5 - A5
Behold the man upon a cross, my sin upon his shoulders
 D5                  E5 - D5     G5         D5             A5    D5
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice call out among the scoffers
                    E5   D5     G5    D5             B5    A5
It was my sin that held him there until it was accomplished
    D5                    E5  D5   G5       D5               A5   D5
His dying breath has brought me life; I know that it is finished

 D5                  E5 D5  G5        D5                 A5 - A5
I will not boast in anything: no gifts, no power, no wisdom
  D5                  E5 - D5   G5          D5             A5    D5
But I will boast in Jesus Christ; his death and resurrection
                        E5  D5  G5      D5             B5 A5
Why should I gain from his reward? I cannot give an answer
    D5                 E5  D5   G5          D5                 A5   D5
But this I know with all my heart: his wounds have paid my ransom
