[Verse 1]
Oh, the depths of riches, like the water that fills the earth
The knowledge of my Creator who gives me worth
And though I crave to know all of the patterns of this world
Is endless for it's beyond tracing out
[Verse 2]
So from as far as I've seen, there is a great hoard against me
Because I am a man, sights see targets on my back
For all our hearts are not clean and the archers fire freely
Because I am a man, sights see targets on my back
Because I am a man, sights see targets
For every knee will bow and every tongue confess
That you are God, for you are God
[Verse 3]
His image bears the sight of the unseen King
His name is ever-pleasing, for this we do sing
Father of grace and mercy has poured out His wrath
Forever Your name proclaims
[Chorus]
The Father of grace and mercy
Has poured out His wrath completely
On His Son for our sake, we are free
Who brought the Lamb to slaughter for me?
[Verse 4]
Oh, the depths of riches, like the water that fills the earth
The knowledge of the one that gives me worth
I have not a gift to bring
For all things are from Him and glory forever
But as their arrows are drawn, there is refuge in view
[Bridge]
Now don't get me wrong, I am the least of these
Knowledge to give or power to seize
I have not a gift or a planned endeavor
For all things are from Him and glory forever
There is love, here is love, this is love, there is love
Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar?
Have they not been made such a fool in their squalor?
For they desired a sign and sought for the wise
When the precursor of life was right in front of their eyes
Oh, death, oh, death
Has lost its sting on me
Oh, death, oh, death
Has lost its sting on me
Oh, death, oh, death
Has lost its sting on me
Oh, death, oh, death
Has lost its sting on me
Oh, death, oh, death
You've been forever conquered
Oh, death, oh, death
You've been forever conquered
[Chorus]
The Father of grace and mercy
Has poured out His wrath completely
On His Son for our sake, we are free
Who brought the Lamb to slaughter for me?
There is love, here is love, this is love, there is love
[Outro]
The Father of grace and mercy
Has poured out His wrath completely
On His Son for our sake, we are free
Who brought the Lamb to slaughter for me?
The Father of grace and mercy
Has poured out His wrath completely
On His Son for our sake, we are free
Who brought the Lamb to slaughter for me?
