The Father’s Love
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 a 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
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
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
Wow… Amazing. Almost too good to be true. But it is true.
His love is real, true and accessible. No matter how far you turn away from Him, He is always right there, waiting for you to come back home with open arms.
He is a good, good Father.
I know you might have an amazing biological Father, maybe you don’t. There is One that will go with you where no one else would dare. He will be with you when everyone else deserts you. The One person that thinks of you first.
All you need to do is receive this Love; The Father’s Love.
No need to live your life based on chance anymore, it is time you lived your life on the benefits that the Father’s Love has made for you.
His love gives hope, peace – even in the midst of the storms, life – you will find a reason to live.
