[INTRO] C#m A C#m A  x2
[VERSE]
    E                            A
How deep the Father’s love for us,
     E/Ab             C#m B
How vast beyond all measure,
     E                         A
That He should give His only Son
      E/Ab             B   E
To make a wretch His treasure.
        E/Ab                   A
How great the pain of searing loss 
       E/Ab            C#m   B
The Father turns His face away,
      E                         A
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
        E/Ab        B   E
Bring many sons to glory.

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

[INSTRUMENTAL] C#m

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

      E/Ab                   A
Why should I gain from His reward?
     E/Ab          C#m B
I cannot give an answer;
     E                       A
But this I know with all my heart -
      E/Ab                B E
His wounds have paid my ransom.
