SPANISH: Profundo es el amor de Dios

Profundo es el amor de Dios
Tan vasto e infinito
que dio a su Hijo amado por
amor a los perdidos
Qué gran dolor causó a mi Dios
ver padecer a Cristo
Herido en una cruz murió
por quienes han creído

Allí, en esa cruz está
Él carga con mis culpas
Vergüenza siento al escuchar
mi voz entre las burlas
Y mi pecado lo llevó
a ser crucificado
Mas vida su muerte me dio
Yo sé que ha terminado

De nada yo presumiré
pues muerte yo merezco
mas en la cruz me gloriaré
la cruz de Jesucristo
¿Por qué me da de su favor?
No puedo contestarlo
Mas esto sé de corazón
Jesús me ha rescatado

 
ENGLISH: How deep the Father’s love for 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
