In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins...13 By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. I John 5:9-10, 13-14.

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 turned 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
for loving us first
Thank You, Jesus Christ,
for dying for the ungodly
Thank You, Father,
for sending Your Son to die for us,
for the ungodly
Thank You, Father,
for sending Your Son to die for us
while we were weak and without strength
Thank You, Father,
for sending Your Son to die for us
while we were still sinners
Thank You, Father,
for justifying us
by His blood
Thank You, Father,
for reconciling us to You
through the death of Your Son
we rejoice in You through our Lord Jesus Christ,
for it is through Him
we have now received the reconciliation
Father, we rejoice in You through our Lord Jesus Christ
for it is through Him
we have now received the Spirit of adoption
Thank You, Father,
for it is through Him
we can now cry out to you, "Abba, Father, thank You"
