how deep the father's love

How deep the Father's love for us,
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
And 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 the cross.
My sin upon His shoulder.
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.

This I know with all my heart:
His wounds have paid my ransom

And he will raise you up
on eagle's wings
there you are
the breath of dawn
make you to shine like the sun
and hold you in the palm of his hand

None. None are good.

yeah this one

A hymnal is a book of hymns.
In that case, mine is the one from December.

My favorite non -Christmas hymns are :

How Great Thou Art

my lord my god
when I in awesome wonder
consider all
the worlds thy hands have made

Also Ave Maria

Oh, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be
Let that goodness like a fetter
Bind my wandering heart to Thee
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart, oh, take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above

This is never gonna work.

I saw the original post this morning and thought, "I'm going to come back later and post 'On Eagle's Wings' in this thread." Thanks for covering it.

"Be Thou My Vision" is another one I really like. I've always been partial to Van Morrison's version but his mid-period Kermit the Frog voice may not be everyone's cup of tea:

I've never seen this one in a hymnal but the harmonies rock my world:

Amazing Grace
