Simply

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 the 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

What can I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom.

That is very helpful. It provided me a few ideas and I'll be posting them on my web site eventually. I'm bookmarking your site and I'll be back again. Thank you again!
