The Words are Rich: Celebrating Easter!!

Shawn and the kids and I went to a Good Friday service at a local church in Little Rock. It was a simple yet powerful time of simple worship songs and the Word being read. During the worship time, I heard a song that I have never heard before. It was written by Stuart Townsend and is called "How Deep the Father's Love for Us". Check out the lyrics below. Then you can also click on a YouTube video as well.

Happy Easter from the Solbergs! May we always remember how deep the Father's love is for us!!

HOW DEEP THE FATHER'S LOVE FOR US: STUART TOWNSEND

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
