Christmas: It’s About The Gift

Posted on | December 23, 2008 | No Comments

How Deep the Father’s Love For Us

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 mocing voice,
Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that helf Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I knoww that it is finished

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast inJesus 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
(REPEAT)

Suffering from lack of quiet time with God these past few days, I was happy to take advantage in a lull in our schedule and take Sprocket for a much-needed walk. And, hey, I had my iPod! I had this song, a version sung by Sarah Sadler from the I Could Sing of Your Love Forever CD, on repeat most of the time I was walking.

Thanks so much, Abba Father, for Your gentle and tender reminders about not what, but Who truly matters. Thank You for your unspeakable gift.
