COMMUNION How Deep The Father's Love For Us Stuart Townend Verse 1 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 souls to glory Verse 2 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 Verse 3 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
