Father dear Father

Oh Father dear Father
I cry out your name
Oh Father dear Father
I thank you for your pain

You gave you precious son for me
You paid His life for my sorrowful soul
I thank you thus in heaven's name
That you sent your son to take our blame

Oh Father dear Father
I praise thy holy name
Oh Father dear Father
Your pain is now my gain

You offered up your precious son
You gave Him to suffer in my name
Oh Lord I am so thankful...
That you saw our need to our shame

Oh Father dear Father
I sing my song of joy
Oh Father dear Father
I thank you for your boy

You sent Him to be our spotless lamb
You knew we could never suffer through it
Oh Lord you gave us of your amazing grace
You could have, yet you did not withdraw it

Oh Father dear Father
I worship your dear son
Oh Father dear Father
Because of Him we are one

The most wonderful gift you offered up
The most precious gift you had
For us you sacrificed your only Son
Knowing it was the only chance we had

Oh father dear Father
I am indebted for ever more
Oh Father dear Father
Never can I even the score
