The Fathers Love

INTRO
G C2 G C2

VERSE 1
G                          Em7
How has the sinner been forgiven
              C
How has the rebel been made clean
           Am
Or blinded eyes been made to see
G                           Em7
How have the orphans been adopted
               C2
Who hated Your love and ran from grace
               Am
Despised and rejected all Your ways

CHORUS
                  G
How wonderful the Father’s love
                         C2
The Father’s love for us
                       Em7
That He would send His only Son
                      C
To come and rescue us
            Am
He has saved us, called us blameless
          Em7                   D
Guides us now and will sustain us.
        C2           Dsus        G
Oh how wonderful the Father’s love

VERSE 2
G                                Em7
Your mercy floods our lives with kindness
                C2
Your grace has colored all we see
             Am
And You have promised not to leave.
    G                       Em7
You freely give Your Spirit to us
             C2
So we can be sure we’re sons of God
                Am
And rest in the hope of what’s to come

BRIDGE
Am                G
Though sufferings may fill our lives
C2              Em                   Am
We’re confident we’re heirs with Christ
                G     C2
And so we cry, “Abba, Father”
(Repeat)
