How Deep The Father’s Love For Us
by Stuart Townend
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 helf 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
May your celebration of Easter be filled with thanksgiving and praise for the finished work of Christ!

Happy Easter, Ruth!
Hasn’t God just given some people a special gift for communicating His truth and love. What a beautiful hymn!
Beautiful! What imagery. I’m not familiar with that one; thank you for sharing it.
As a side note, I just got around to answering your catechism question in the comment section of my post on Friday. Beth, (lap of loveliness) may also have some catechism recommendations.
We had this song in our wedding ceremony! After saying our vows, we took Communion, and this is the song we had playing while we did that.
I hope you had a sweet and wonderful Easter celebration~
My baobei,
I am so thankful that we have the same Lord in this life and in the life-to-come. I love you so much, my daughter.
