How Deep his Love really is.

Tonight I cannot stop thinking about this song, I have heard it before but yesterday I must have just realised the Reality of the words. 
I could go through it word for word and explain why each verse means so much, but I think it needs individual revelation to have meaning.
So tonight I am still thinking about the reality of what he did for me and how great the price must have been for him, I realized that he actually felt pain for me, He actually chose the cross for me, chose me over himself and exchanged his life for my own and his very last breath was what brought me the freedom that I honestly take for granted most days.

I hope as you read it the words remind you just How deep the father Love for us really is....



How deep the Father's love for us 
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
And 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 shoulder
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
