How Deep The Father

1) The document is lyrics to a song about how deep God's love is for humanity, that he gave his only son (Jesus) to die for humanity and make sinners his treasure. 2) The lyrics express shame and guilt for the singer's role in Jesus' death, that it was the singer's sins that put Jesus on the cross, until his death brought the singer life. 3) The final verse says the singer will not boast about anything except Jesus Christ - his death and resurrection, though the singer cannot answer why he should gain God's reward, but knows Jesus' wounds paid his ransom.
