Father, How Sweet - Sovereign Grace Music

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
