How Deep The Fathers Love For Us by Stuart Townend - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Stuart Townend Song List

Version 1 Version 2

            Alright, here's another one that we do that I thought you might enjoy. It's a
powerful hymn, so have some fun with it and sing your heart out.

We play with a Capo 2, but it can be done without it. So wherever you feel
comfortable, go for it. (All chords are relative to the capo)

[Verse 1]
D                    Em7  D/F# G
How deep the fathers love for us
    D/F#            Bm7  A
How vast beyond all mea-sure
     D                 Em7 D/F#  G
That He should give his only   son
     D                A    D
To make a wretch His trea-sure
          D           Em7 D/F#  G
How great the pain of searing loss
    D/F#             Bm7   A
The Father turns His face away
       D               Em7 D/F#  G
As wounds which mar the Chosen  One
       D             A D
Bring many son's to glory

G D G

[Verse 2]
    D           Em7  D/F#  G
Behold the Man upon the cross
   D/F#          Bm7  A
My sin upon His shoulder
    D             Em7 D/F#  G
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice
      D            A    D
Call out among the scoffers
     D             Em7  D/F#  G
It was my sin that held Him there
    D/F#           Bm7    A
Until it was accom-plished
        D              Em7   D/F#  G
His dying breath has brought me life
   D               A   D
I know that it is finished

G D G

[Verse 3]
   D               Em7 D/F# G
I will not boast in anything
    D/F#            Bm7   A
No gifts no power no wisdom
    D               Em7 D/F# G
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
      D             A   D
His death and resurrection
      D                Em7 D/F# G
Why should I gain from His reward?
   D/F#          Bm7 A
I cannot give an answer
     D               Em7 D/F# G
But this I know with all my heart
      D                  A  D
His wounds have paid my ransom


Repeat the last four lines twice slowing down as you go.
Thanks and enjoy!
