How Deep the Father's Love for Us

By Stuart Townend


Capo 2nd fret


     D                            Em7 D/F# G

How deep the Father's love for us

        D/F#                     Bm  Asus

How vast beyond all meas-ure

     D                          Em D/F# G

That He should give His only Son

     D/F#                         Asus   D

To make a wretch His trea-sure

                                   Em  D/F# G         

How great the pain of sear-ing loss

         D/F#                  Bm    Asus

The Father turns His face a-way

        D                                 Em D/F# G

As wounds which mar the Cho-sen  One

              D/F#          Asus D 

Bring many sons to glo-ry


   D                        Em  D/F# G

Be-hold the Man up-on a    cross

    D/F#                 Bm   Asus    

My sin upon His shoul-ders

  D                          Em     D/F# G

Ashamed I hear my mock-ing  voice

     D/F#                      Asus  D

Call out  among the scof-fers

                             Em  D/F#  G

It was my sin that held Him  there

   D/F#                 Bm     Asus

Un-til  it was ac-comp-lished

         D                       Em     D/F#   G  

His dying breath has brought me   life

  D/F#                Asus  D 

I know that it is fin-ished


   D                     Em D/F#   G

I will not boast in an- y-thing

     D/F#                       Bm  Asus

No gifts, no power, no wis-dom

    D                      Em D/F# G

But I will boast in Je- sus  Christ

     D/F#                     Asus D

His death and resur-rec-tion

                                     Em  D/F# G

Why should I gain from His  re - ward?

  D/F#               Bm Asus     

I cannot give an an-swer

     D                       Em  D/F# G

But this I know with all  my   heart

    D/F#                               Asus D

His wounds have paid my ran-som
