I am wretched.
But I am treasured!
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.
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.
Songwriters: Stuart Townend
Read the words to this song again. Meditate and know what God did for us, the wretched, by sending Jesus to die for us! Bought and paid for!
But he was pierced for our rebellion,
crushed for our sins.
He was beaten so we could be whole.
He was whipped so we could be healed.
Yet the Lord laid on him
the sins of us all. Isaiah 53
