[Verse 1]

    E                          A/C#
How deep the Father’s love for us,
    E               C#m B
How vast beyond all measure,
     E                       A/C#
That He should give His only Son
    E                 B   E
To make a wretch His treasure.
     E                         A/C#
How great the pain of searing loss
     E               C#m    B
The Father turns His face away,
    E                          A/C#
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
       E            B  E
Bring many sons to glory.

[Verse 2]

   E                   A/C#
Behold the man upon a cross,
    E            C#m  B
My sin upon His shoulders;
   E                        A/C#
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
     E              B   E
Call out among the scoffers.
   E                         A/C#
It was my sin that held Him there
   E           C#m  B
Until it was accomplished;
     E                           A/C#
His dying breath has brought me life
   E               B E
I know that it is finished.

[Verse 3]

   E                     A/C#
I will not boast in anything,
    E                  C#m B
No gifts, no power, no wisdom;
    E                       A/C#
But I will boast in Jesus Christ,
     E              B  E
His death and resurrection.
      E                       A/C#
Why should I gain from His reward?
   E             C#m B
I cannot give an answer;
     E                       A/C#
But this I know with all my heart
     E                   B  E
His wounds have paid my ransom.


[Ending]

     E                       A/C#
But this I know with all my heart
     E                   B  E
His wounds have paid my ransom.
     E                       A/C#
But this I know with all my heart
     E                   B  E
His wounds have paid my ransom.
