The Father's Bargain
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What kind of love is this, friends?
What kind of love is that is so big
So without bounds, that He would come
He would want, He would want to do so much to rescue people
who wanted nothing to do with Him?
Who fought Him even when He came to cleave us from hell?
What kind of love is it that sees us in our filth
comes to rescue us, sees us resist that rescue
but continues to rescue us anyway?
What foolishness is this?
That He would come offer us rescue and we would say No! Why?
What are we gaining by our resistance?
Oh, how glorious He is
that He saw you like that and didn’t give up!
[1 Cor. 6:20, 1 Cor. 7:23, 2 Cor. 5:21]
Oh, now my Son
Here is a company of miserable souls
Cold and undone
Searing their conscience with hearts black as coals
Here now they lie
Objects of justice, deserving of wrath
Speak Your reply
What shall be done for them? Draw out your path
No one can contain the power and depths
Of My abundant love
Father, I say, such is My love and my pity for all
There is a way for no condemnation on men to befall
Whoa, such is my love and pity for all
Whoa, no man can pay, I’ll make a way
Whoa, such is my love and pity for all
Whoa, no man can pay, I’ll make a way
No man can pay
Utterly broke and poor to settle their debt
Though all’ve gone their way
I’ll yield a way for their sins to forget
Sins to forget
Bring in all their sins
Lay it all on Me
Bring in all their sins
Lay it all on Me
Bring in all their sins
Every last bill that they owe
Lay it all on Me
For what they reap I will sow
Bring in all their sins
Every last bill that they owe
Lay it all on Me
The place these souls have found themselves
Is one of great distress
For even all their righteousness is just a filthy mess
O My Son, You must understand
That if I show mercy
You must reckon to pay
The last bit of My rage
For justice reigns upon this throne
Perfection without flaw
How can the wicked find their peace
And still have broken every law?
Let it be so
Charge it on me
For I can bear the weight of sin
So all would be free
Bring in all their sins
Every last bill that they owe
Lay it all on Me
For what they reap I will sow
Bring in all their sins
Lay it all on Me
Blush O man, let shame hide your face
For one of infinite worth
Has left His throne for His death
Which proves for our salvation
Oh, people hear my cries
With all our lusts and all our lies
When the truth’s come face to face
Did we earn such love and grace?
No we haven’t earned a thing
And there is nothing we can bring
To settle this age old rift
And receive this perfect gift
If only you knew of the grace
And love that Our God has for all
You’d turn and look into the face
Of Jesus the Savior Who calls
Oh, people hear my cries
With all our lusts and all our lies
When the truth’s come face to face
Did we earn such love and grace?
Oh we couldn’t earn a thing
And there is nothing we can bring
So receive this love and grace
Believe His love and grace!
