that He should give His on - ly     Son
   D/F#            A D
to make a wretch His treasure.

How great the pain of sear -ing    loss.
    D/F#           Bm A
The Father turns His face away

bring many   sons to  glo - ry.

Ashamed, I hear my mock - ing    voice
     D/F#        A     D
call out among the scoffers.

It was my sin that held Him there

until it was accom - plished;
    D              Em    D/F# G
His dying breath has brought me     life.

no gifts, no pow'r, no wis - dom.
    D             Em D/F# G
But I will boast in Je - sus C  hrist:
    D/F#    A    D
His death and resurrection.
Em                   D/F# G
Why should I gain from His    reward?

His wounds have paid my ran som.
