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 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

Cornerstone

My hope is built on nothing less

Than Jesus blood and righteousness

I dare not trust the sweetest frame

But wholly trust in Jesus name

Christ alone, Cornerstone

Weak made strong in the Saviour's love

Through the storm, He is Lord, Lord of all

When darkness seems to hide His face

I rest on His unchanging grace

In every high and stormy gale

My anchor holds within the veil

Christ alone, Cornerstone

Weak made strong in the Saviour's love

Through the storm, He is Lord, Lord of all

When He shall come with trumpet sound

Oh may I then in Him be found

Dressed in His righteousness alone

Faultless to stand before the throne

Christ alone, Cornerstone

Weak made strong in the Saviour's love

Through the storm, He is Lord, Lord of all

Be Thou My Vision

Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart

Naught be all else to me save that thou art

Thou my best thought by day and by night

Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light

Be thou my wisdom, and thou my true Word

I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord

Thou my great Father, I thy true son

Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one

Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise

Thou mine inheritance, now and always

Thou and thou only, first in my heart

High King of Heaven, my treasure thou art

High King of Heaven, my victory won

May I reach Heaven's joys, O bright Heav'ns Sun

Heart of my heart, whatever befall

Still be my vision, O Ruler of all
