| How Deep the Father's Love by Stuart Townend |
| How deep the Father's love for us, How vast beyond all measure That He should give His only Son To make a wretch His treasure How great the pain of searing loss, The Father turns His face away As wounds which mar the Chosen One, Bring many sons to glory Behold the Man upon a cross, My sin upon His shoulders Ashamed I hear my mocking voice, Call out among the scoffers It was my sin that held Him there Until it was accomplished His dying breath has brought me life I know that it is finished I will not boast in anything No gifts, no power, no wisdom But I will boast in Jesus Christ His death and resurrection Why should I gain from His reward? I cannot give an answer But this I know with all my heart His wounds have paid my ransom |

Happy Father's Day, Wick! We've been blessed in different ways and at different times by observing and knowing your testimony, leadership, conviction, story of adopting your girls to whom you are a great dad, and God-honoring, Christ-exalting relationship with your wife. May the Lord bless you and continue to use you as a leader in the various spheres in which you are engaged.
ReplyDeleteWe too love this song by Townend--rich theology there.
On a sidebar--I was interested to see that you were worshiping at a Presbyterian church. What's the story there? Are you Presbyterian? Is family here in the States?
Lord bless.
Thanks for the kind words Brandon. I hope Father's Day was a special one for you.
ReplyDeleteThe Southern Baptist church I was a member of disbanded when I moved to Korea in 2002. I have been worshiping at the church Megan grew up in since that time. I do have a different understanding of baptism than the http://www.epc.org/, but I have received nothing but support from them. I am not Presbyterian, but I love worshipping with Presbyterians!
I'll be at CIU from June 26th to July 16th before flying back to the Middle Kingdom on July 28th.
We did have a good time visiting with family in Valencia--the Stimacs, if you remember them.
ReplyDeleteInteresting about the church situation. I understand what you mean! I have come to understand more about and love my Presbyterian brothers here as well. For every month which has a fifth Sunday, in the evening we have a joint service with several churches in Escondido: two Reformed Baptist, one Southern Baptist, and one Presbyterian. Good times of fellowship and uniting around the Gospel.
I hope your studies go well this summer and plans for the new school year.
