God's Unfathomable Love for Me

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.

This song has been ringing through my head all day. Tonight I pulled the words out and read through them while listening to a recording. I love this song. I love the words. But most of all, I love my Saviour!

To think of all He has done for me, an unworthy sinner... I am nothing; I have nothing of which I can boast. Only Jesus and His power in me. His dying breath has brought me life - so I can use my every breath for His glory.

I cannot and will never be able to fathom God's amazing love for me.
