How Deep The Father's Love For Us

"How deep the Father's love for us,
how vasy 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 resurecction.
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.

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."

I love this song. I can hear the guy in my head, but I can't think of his name...not the guy talking in my head, the guy singing the song in my head.... Is it Fernando Ortega?
