| Father, how sweet must be the pleasure
|
| You find in Your eternal Son
|
| For long before You made the heavens
|
| Both You and He rejoiced as one
|
| And long before You formed the angels
|
| Before You made the day and night
|
| Jesus exulted in Your presence
|
| And He was all of Your delight
|
| He was all of Your delight
|
| Father, what love You’ve shown to rebels
|
| That You would send Your Son so dear
|
| Into this world of grief and trouble
|
| To bring unworthy sinners near
|
| We’ll never fathom how it pained You
|
| When You supplied the offering
|
| To rescue those who had disdained You
|
| To watch Your dear Son suffering (oh)
|
| Jesus, it fills our hearts with wonder
|
| That You would leave Your heavenly place
|
| To take on flesh to thirst and hunger
|
| To save the ones who spurned Your grace
|
| You came to forfeit every mercy
|
| To die that mercy we would find
|
| And then You hung alone in darkness
|
| So in our hearts Your grace would shine
|
| Your grace would shine (oh)
|
| Jesus, in glory You’ve ascended
|
| Never again to leave Your throne
|
| Because of You we are befriended
|
| Received and welcomed as God’s own
|
| Father, how sweet now is Your pleasure
|
| In us, Your daughters and Your sons
|
| We will delight in You forever
|
| In Jesus You have made us one
|
| In Jesus You have made us one |
