[Verse 1]
E A/C#
How deep the Father’s love for us,
E C#m B
How vast beyond all measure,
E A/C#
That He should give His only Son
E B E
To make a wretch His treasure.
E A/C#
How great the pain of searing loss
E C#m B
The Father turns His face away,
E A/C#
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
E B E
Bring many sons to glory.

[Verse 2]
E A/C#
Behold the man upon a cross,
E C#m B
My sin upon His shoulders;
E A/C#
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
E B E
Call out among the scoffers.
E A/C#
It was my sin that held Him there
E C#m B
Until it was accomplished;
E A/C#
His dying breath has brought me life
E B E
I know that it is finished.

[Verse 3 2x 2x]
E A/C#
I will not boast in anything,
E C#m B
No gifts, no power, no wisdom;
E A/C#
But I will boast in Jesus Christ,
E B E
His death and resurrection.
E A/C#
Why should I gain from His reward?
E C#m B
I cannot give an answer;
E A/C#
But this I know with all my heart
E B E
His wounds have paid my ransom.
