How Deep The Father's Love For Us
Sophie - February 8, 2010
I know I've probably mentioned this before, but I grew up in a very traditional church. We didn't shout "amen," we didn't clap, and you can bet your bottom dollar that we didn't have any drums. We sang the Doxology, we recited The Lord's Prayer, and we sang hymns. Lots and lots of hymns.
When I was younger, of course, I didn't really appreciate the depth and richness of hymns. But now that I'm older - well, the hymns just do me in. Every single time. I might be able to get through the first verse without tears filling my eyes, but it's doubtful. Usually I just have to hear the first few chords and I'm a goner.
"How Deep The Father's Love For Us" isn't a hymn that I sang growing up, mainly because it wasn't written until 1995. But the lyrics - OH, THE LYRICS - they're something else. So good. And to hear sweet Kelly Minter singing them? Extra special.
"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."
Have a great week, everybody.
