Wie Tief Muss Gottes Liebe Sein

How deep must God's love be!
He loves us immeasurably,
Has let his son at our place
Atone for everything.
When all sin lay on him,
The father hid his face,
When he, the chosen one, died,
He gave us new life.

I look at the man on the cross,
Can see my guilt there.
And with full shame I see myself
Standing among the mockers.
For my sins he hung there,
They took his life.
His death has erased them.
I know, I am forgiven.

I will trust no power of the world
And no wisdom.
On Jesus' death and resurrection
I will build my life.
I haven't deserved any of this,
I live through his grace.
His blood paid for my guilt,
So that I have life.
