How vast beyond all measure
            D            Em   D/F#   G
That He would give His only Son
            D/F#            A       D
To make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of searing loss

Behold the Man upon a cross

My sin upon His shoulders

Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
            D/F#            A        D
Call out among the scoffers

            D            Em         D/F#           G
It was my sin that held Him there
         D/F#            Bm            A
Until it was accomplished
            D            Em            D/F#    G
His dying breath has brought me life
           D/F#            A       D
I know that it is finished'

HOW DEEP THE FATHER'S LOVE FOR US
By Stuart Townend

         D            Em   D/F#   G
I will not boast in anything
            D/F#            Bm        A
No gifts, no powers, no wisdom
            D            Em     D/F#        G
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
            D/F#            A       D
His death and resurrection

            D            Em       D/F#    G
Why should I gain from His reward?
       D/F#            Bm          A
I cannot give an answer
            D            Em     D/F#       G
But this I know with all my heart
            D/F#            A           D
His wounds have paid my ransom
