<\/a>For me, Monday\u2019s are beautiful days. Mainly because I write about music on this day and music fills my soul with such delight. And specifically on this Monday, I rejoice because the sun is shining and because we had 49 baptisms at Rocky yesterday!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Now don\u2019t get me wrong. I have to go to work today and this is one of my long days. And I have a pile of work to do today. But still, there is much to rejoice about and I intend to stick with this plan!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As I recalled each baptism from yesterday, I was touched by the great love of our heavenly Father. His desire to draw each one closer to Him is just astounding. Mind-blowing. Unfathomable. Deep. And so on this precious Monday morning, I pray that you will rejoice with me as you bask in the deep love of our Father.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow Deep the Father\u2019s Love for Us\u201d[i]<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n How deep the Father’s love for us <\/p>\n How great the pain of searing loss <\/p>\n Behold the man upon a cross <\/p>\n It was my sin that held Him there <\/p>\n I will not boast in anything <\/p>\n Why should I gain from His reward? <\/p>\n
\nHow vast beyond all measure
\nThat He should give His only Son
\nTo make a wretch His treasure<\/p>\n
\nThe Father turns His face away
\nAs wounds which mar the Chosen One
\nBring many sons to glory<\/p>\n
\nMy sin upon His shoulders
\nAshamed, I hear my mocking voice
\nCall out among the scoffers<\/p>\n
\nUntil it was accomplished
\nHis dying breath has brought me life
\nI know that it is finished<\/p>\n
\nNo gifts, no power, no wisdom
\nBut I will boast in Jesus Christ
\nHis death and resurrection<\/p>\n
\nI cannot give an answer
\nBut this I know with all my heart
\nHis wounds have paid my ransom<\/p>\n
