Hot Like Ebola!!!: I Really Love Cool Old Hymns

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 the 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.
