Something to think about...

This last Sunday we sang a song that described the meaning of this Easter season. As Easter approaches, I wanted to reflect on the sacrifice of our Savior and the incredible gift He gave us. Here are the words and a link if you'd wish to hear it sung. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XrZV90MzOA&feature=related

How Deep The Father's Love For Us
Stuart Townend

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
