One of my favorite hymns...
"How Deep the Father's Lover for Us"
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 held 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
Hi, Hannah!
ReplyDeleteI just came across your blog while looking up a favorite song, "The Reason I Sing". I really appreciate your gentle way of encouraging people through simply bringing to mind songs (or sharing new ones) that can help keep our eyes on our Savior in this ever-darkening world. Keep spreading His Light!
