How Deep

VERSE 1
I was dead in my sin and on my knees
Who but Jesus would die to ransom me?
This friend of the harlot and the thief
This lover of the lowly and the weak

CHORUS 1
How deep and how wide
Is Christ's love for us
My ev’ry crime borne as His own
His wounds to heal and blood atone

VERSE 2
The King, He was mocked and He was scorned
As they set into His head a crown of thorns
Betrayed by the ones who did not know
That every stripe upon His skin would make them whole

CHORUS 2
How deep and how wide
Is Christ's love for us
The lamb was slain, but stronger than death
His crimson flow, our righteousness

BRIDGE
Love has a name, love has a face
His wild eyes like fire blaze
Love hung for me torn on a tree
Holes in his hands, heart on his sleeve

Love has a name, love has a face
His wild eyes like fire blaze
Love hung for me torn on a tree
By this love I am redeemed

BRIDGE INSTRUMENTAL
Oh, oh
By this love I am redeemed
Oh, oh

VERSE 3
If my faith should take me far from my home
I know Jesus first paved the narrow road
And if I'm lonely in pursuit of higher things
Far more precious is the harvest it may bring
For I want a crown that I may lay before my King

CHORUS 3
How deep and how wide
Is Christ’s love for us
My joy in life, my treasure in death
That Christ is mine, and I am His
