We sang this beautiful hymn in church today. The lyrics help me to put my heart in the right place. No matter what challenges and uncertainties we face, may I always choose to praise God for His love and for the death and resurrection of Christ that has brought me life. I cannot give an answer why He has chosen to pay my ransom and die for me, but I know with all my heart that he has. I know my Father's love is beyond measure, and that my Father is taking care of us...
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

I love that hymn too. I need to especially remember the part about not boasting in anything except Jesus.
