How deep the Father's love for us,

That He should give His only Son
Story Behind the Song
Stuart Townend wrote this modern hymn in 1995 as a meditation on the Father's love shown through the suffering and death of Christ. It is deliberately hymn-like in structure, with no refrain, and emphasizes the doctrine of atonement rather than a purely subjective worship response. The song became one of the most widely sung contemporary hymns in English-speaking churches.
